The Women’s Institute, Woman’s Hour and Interesting 2008

June 24th, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

An experiment. Listen to the MP3 and, at the beginning, you’ll hear me, reading aloud the kind of words you might have read here. A lot of Speechification users don’t read our blog entries at all, you see. They just listen to the podcast. Adding an introduction to the MP3 means they can’t escape! It’s a bit of a pain to record the intro (adding about twenty minutes of fiddling around in Garageband in my case) but it might be fun to do. What do you think? MP3.

    Something I’d like to see Steve is a length of podcast in the post. This is because sometimes I listen to them from my RSS reader and sometimes I just want to know how long it’s going to last in case I haven’t got long enough or I want a longer podcast to listen to.

    Also a post on how you did it in Garageband would be good. If not here then on your own blog because I’m sure podcast listeners are more likely to want to know than just general netizenry.

    Not sure about the preamble . . . I listen to the entries after reading the blog (but perhaps I’m the minority about that). That said I’d rather listen to your voice that Jenny Murrays. I’m sure there’s plenty of great stuff hidden within Woman’s Hour but I just cannot cope with her.
