Well! I finally managed to slap an episode together for this week, so needless to say there won’t be one posted on Sunday. Which is just as well, since I’ll be watching the Red Sox beat the Orioles into paste (I say this as a demoralized Orioles fan) on Sunday anyway. I really wish I’d thought to bring my recorder to what turned out to be a very fun Reading in the Round last night, but c’est la vie. Anyway, I cribbed everything in this episode from Librivox, which has a very nice collection of short poetry and a stable of readers who don’t sound like Chris Rock’s impression of white people. Go team!
By the way, try a Youtube search for “news bloopers” sometime. Holy crap. The sample in this episode is only the tip of a hilarious, unprofessional iceberg.
