In Flanders Fields

Posted on November 11, 2008 by | Posted in Podcast | Comments: 2 Comments on In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields, by John McCrae.

Read by Gord, Kristen, Kara, Mike, Randomdad, Mark, and me. I believe it was our first “weekly poem,” and was Mike’s idea. They were all recorded around November 11 (Remembrance Day in commonwealth countries), 2005.

For all the renditions, see here.

Here is the music remix, by Euterpe Archipelago.

And here is Mike’s rendition:

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!
