If it's a bit too "downbeat" for a celebratory podcast, I'll save it for a more appropriate occasion. But in case you'd like to use it, here it is -- (length 2:35).

Maria-- somehow I just barely noticed this! I'm sorry. I would love to include it, of course. thank you thank you.

Amelia, I just uploaded the 12th Anniversary Song to the 12th Anniversary Collection. Here's the link, if you still want to use it in the podcast. (Length is 3:05 with the intro and outro, but you may wish to cut those out before editing it into the podcast.)

thank you! I love how the song came out-- so fun!

here is the podcast file, with memories and celebrations, a LibriVox Dozen of excerpts, and another dozen suggestions. plus the song and a plug for the 12th Anniversary collection.

since this is my first go with a podcast, I would appreciate feedback, good and bad. PM me if there is anything you think I could have done better/differently. we'll see if I have time to do another podcast. it was pretty fun to put together.

happy birthday to LV, and here's to many many many more years.

is there an admin who may have a minute to help finalize this podcast? I don't want it to slip through the cracks and get too outdated before it goes out to the wider public...

one more small plea for someone who might help get this finalized.
August is slipping away from us as irrevocably as ever...

Oh, I thought you had an admin lined up to help you with this...

it's late here, but maybe somebody else can try? If nobody does until tomorrow morning, I will try and find out how we have dealt with podcasts before... *scared*

In any case, could you give us something like this - with times and names - if possible, please? I think it is good to have more details on our blog?
https://librivox.org/2016/12/10/librivox-community-podcast-no-143/

I'll put it on Archive (the easy part). I don't recall where we put the show notes, etc.

thank you both!

I can definitely spiff up my show notes to fit the mold. here we go...

I think this is done!

excellent! thank you so much Tricia!

does anyone know why the last few podcast episodes haven't shown up in my podcast app? and how to fix it?
Cori mentioned in a PM that the posts needed to be tagged on the blog with "LibriVox Community Podcast"-- but it looks like they are. is there something else going wrong with the feed?

I know nothing about podcast feeds.

well, maybe someday an expert will come to the rescue and it'll get figured out. in the meantime, not the end of the world.

Great job! Congratulations on doing this and getting it posted. I enjoyed doing my contribution. The 12th Anniversary project was fun. Number 13 coming up next year!

I gave the tags a little prod -- maybe that worked? If not, then something bigger has changed (perhaps WordPress might have altered how it shares feeds, or the systems that pick them up have changed file/data formats or ... goodness knows ... would need further investigation from someone way more up-to-date than me.)
