I just got a great email message:

Dear Mr. McGuire,
I have recently opened a library in the virtual world of Second Life (www.secondlife.com), and I took the liberty of introducing some of your audio book files into our collection. We, The Second Life Literary Foundation, are a purely non-profit group, and all books using Librivox files are free to all Second Life residents.

I truly hope that it will meet with your approval. Proper credits are given with each book as well as links to your web page are provided.

To view the project, please visit: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Willow/64/188/23

I look forward to establishing a working relationship with Librivox.

Best regards,
Sincerely,
Maria C.

THE LV WEEKLY SHORT STORY PODCAST
THE LV POETRY PODCAST

Just in time for your summer listening pleasure, two new LibriVox Podcasts are ready to jump into your iPods. A great way to sample the massive LV Catalog: weekly samples focusing specifically on poetry and short stories, updated every Saturday. But don’t worry, we won’t be running out of poems or short stories for a very long time. The Catalog has hundreds of each —and it’s growing everyday! Each podcast contains a link to the entire audiobook or collection.

Podcast feeds are available either from FeedBurner or iTunes:

Poetry via FeedBurner
Poetry via iTunes
Current episodes: 14

Short Stories via FeedBurner
Short Stories via iTunes
Current episodes: 123

As you might guess from current totals, the Short Story Podcast has been up longer than the one for Poetry. It has become a very popular podcast and Apple has continually featured it in the Literature section of iTunes.

If you’re interested, take a zoom over to the iTunes Store and do a search for “LibriVox.” You might be surprised to find 30 or more LV related podcasts, most of them from LV volunteers!
