Australia Radio tips LibriVox

Posted on November 19, 2005 by | Posted in in the press, News | Comments: 4 Comments on Australia Radio tips LibriVox

We appear to have made it to the radio* airwaves in Australia, can anyone (chris?) confirm whether we were released from the internet for general consumption? In any case, we are listed on the net at ABC Radio National’s: WebWatch (with Debbie Spillane and Alex Zaharov-Reutt), along with the Church Sign Generator, which is actually pretty cool, and very addictive.

I am particularly happy because ABC RN is among the most progressive podcasters in public radio worldwide, and in particular they podcast a LibriVox favourite: Books and Writing.

*for those who don’t know, radio is kind of like a wifi-enabled computer except it only recieves, and replays, sound signals.

More press about audiolit podcasts, and LibriVox: a great article from the Book Standard. LibriVox friends Ron Evry, JD Bartlett, and Miette all get the warm glow of limelight as well. (Check our sidebar, under audiolit projects, for some others who deserve heaps of audiolit praise as well).

UPDATE:
… and subsequently, we’ve made it to the del.icio.us popular page. cool. Total hits as a result: 10,463 … wow.

I’ve had a few suggestions too about the project, and shortly (I hope) I’ll be writing up a “Call for Volunteers” to see if we can get some non-vocalists to contribute to the project as well, with some technical expertise to try to make this a more robust site that can handle more interest from people and really make a contribution to the global public domain audio library.

There’s an interview about LibriVox on the very well-produced Writing Show, a nice podcast by Paula B. We talk about public domain, audiobooks, joseph conrad, creative commons, and all sorts of stuff.
