Section 15 uploaded: https://librivox.org/ uploads/knotyouraveragejo/thirdvoyageojamescookvol1_15_cook_128kb.mp3 (25:36). I find it so tragic, each time they mention the animals being so tame that they let themselves be killed so easily :( couldn't they just let them live in peace ? Another excelle...

Sections 18, 19 and 20 all ready for Spot PL! Getting ever closer!! wohoo, yes we are getting there. :clap: Section 19 is now marked as PL ok . Still a bit of tweaking needed for the other two however: Section 18 : > the volume is too loud, over 92 dB. This resulted in a lot of clipping (the red li...

Announcement: section 15 is up for grabs again, since I haven't heard back from the initial reader anymore and the deadline has expired.

it's the kind of thing Queen Aurea would do... she has a blackmailing streak in this play.

Sonia

and here she is, nasty queen Aurea. If she doesn't get a PL ok right away, she will probably tell awful stories about the DPLer.
