#19-41 Audiobooks in 41 Days

Get Caught ListeningThis week we are celebrating the privilege that I’ve had to voice 41 audiobooks in the last couple of years. If you’ve followed my Facebook or Twitter feeds, you’ll have seen a title: 41 Audiobooks in 41 Days. Each day of the week, I’m featuring a different audiobook – presented largely in alphabetical order. (There are variations for books that are part of a series or a holiday happening. )

In this podcast, I play excerpts from the books which have been featured in the past few days. This is something we’ll do until the 41 Audiobooks in 41 Days ends sometime in August.  I hope you find something that will tickle your ears!!! Enjoy!

#18-When Johnny Comes Marching Home & The End of the War of the Worlds as We Know It

Audio tonightThis week’s podcast offers a special surprise.  Two weeks ago, we talked about my impressions of the Hear Now Festival for 2015.  But, I had no audio clips that were actually a part of the 2015 Festival.  Those clips are now available.  So, I’m using this week’s podcast to share two of the best radio plays that I heard during the festival.  We start with the award winning When Johnny Comes Marching Home and close with a short comedy sketch based on the War of the Worlds in honor of Orson Welles’ birthday.

#17-The Voice of Aedistamen

This week’s podcast is adapted from author Tony Hilling’s blog post about his novel, The Voice of Aedistamen.  Since I have produced the audiobook for the first volume of this series, “The Child’s Arrival”, I thought the blog would help shed some light on a book which takes place in this fictional world of Aedistamen.  Tony’s post points us to a sample from the book, an original song he composed and performs, and a spiritual idea for all to consider.

We’ve just returned from a week away attending the Hear Now Festival in Kansas City, MO.  HEAR Now is the audio equivalent of a film festival for contemporary audio story-telling in all its forms: live and scripted solo performances, multi-voiced performance, classic radio drama, experimental narrative, and much more.  In this podcast, I share my impressions on the festival and share some samples from the participants in this festival.  (No, these samples don’t come from this festival, but from other sources.)

I mention several web-sites in this podcast.  For your convenience, here are the links you may want to peruse:
