Canada’s national newspaper, the Globe & Mail, has an article on Ricky Gervais, podcasting and… a mention of LibriVox. Article by Scott Colbourne. We slot in at number 5 in the podcasts worth checking out:

5. LibriVox. Volunteers read classic novels, which can be downloaded in segments. Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island are available now. librivox.org.

BBC 4’s radio show, In Touch – a show by & for blind & partially sighted people, had a spot on LibriVox with an interview. You can find the streaming audio here. The LibriVox spot is somewhere in the middle of the 20 minute show. (PS kudos to Neal for getting honourary Canadian citizenship courtesy of BCC!).

A very nice note by Jon Udell about LibriVox, juicy bit:

I don’t know if I’ll manage to contribute any recordings, but I tip my hat to everyone involved in this excellent project. This weekend, for example, New Hampshire was blanketed with new snow. On my outdoor rambles, I’ve been listening to Call of the Wild. I can’t remember when I last read it, and I wouldn’t have made time to reread it, but it’s been wonderful to hear it while tramping through the snow. The voices are Gordon Mackenzie, Kristen McQuillen, Jean O’Sullivan, and Miette, and all four of them did a great job. Thanks!
