Clicking on the link in the right-hand sidebar, listeners can send their thanks to a designated email address, and an admin posts the messages in a forum thread and also notifies each reader by PM.

LibriVox Community Podcast #111

Posted on March 4, 2010 by | Posted in about LibriVox, Librivox Community Podcast, News | Comments: 4 Comments on LibriVox Community Podcast #111

Listen to LibriVox Community Podcast #111 with Cori, Ruth and Lucy.

[audio:http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_community_2010/librivox_community_podcast_111.mp3]

Duration: 10:00

Oh my goodness! LibriVox needs money?!

In this podcast, Ruth reads Hugh’s blog post announcing our fundraising drive, Lucy says why she thinks this crazy audio project is worth donating to, and a cast of 17 LibriVoxateers sing to charm a dollar or two from your wallet/purse (song orchestrated and edited together by Ruth.)

Also included: snippets of a number of LibriVox recordings. Though I forgot War and Peace, can you believe it!

Music by Bach and Miguez. In the public domain via. musopen.com and performed by Felipe Sarro.

And, yes we need money, but only $20,000, to last us some years into the future. Once we meet this target, we’ll stop accepting donations … as of this Monday, we’d raised $12,000. Not so far to go, now. See this post for more information and how to donate!
