Winter’s coming — at least up in Canada — so we thought a little taste of the North would be appropriate for our next podcast. A tale of adventure in the cold is next, Jack London’s classic Call of the Wild. Buck, a patrician dog from a Californian estate is kidnapped and sent up to gold-rush era Yukon, where seld dogs are needed for the exhausting work of hauling goods through the ice and snow. Buck battles with wicked men, brutal weather, and and the violent society of his fellow canines to become the most celebrated dog in the north.

Well this one was a long time coming – the chaos around the launch of the OpenLibrary delayed timely podcasting delivery. Sorry about that! However, we now have a healthy back-catalog, so those of you podcast listeners will now have a regular schedule of LibriVox goodness.
