thank you for your section, Hope. Wow this episode of Swedish history was indeed quite gruesome. You have an interesting accent in the Swedish names, are you by any chance Scandinavian ?Hopeforce1 wrote: ↑July 30th, 2019, 7:22 amhttps://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldstory_volume8_036_tappan_128kb.mp3
Here is my contribution, I feel proud but it still needs prooflistening.

oh wow, yes, this is a great poem. I just read up on the fate of John Franklin. aweful to be trapped in ice like this and trying to find a way to safety. But these explorers must have known the dangers.Kikisaulite wrote: ↑July 31st, 2019, 6:02 am Section 101 uploaded, duration is 05:17. Grand poetry!

oh ! this was a long section, Jim, thank you so much. Made up of some smaller chapters in the interesting life of Olaf, this was quite interesting to listen to, I didn't know anything about this man yet. Flawlessly narrated, the lot of them. All PL ok.neecheelok70 wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2019, 12:20 pm Here is 15:

indeed this is strange...well they mentioned Iceland at one point, so I'm not sure that they just made a typo with the rest. Maybe back in the day they mentioned the Irish people in relation with both islands, Ireland and Iceland.alanmapstone wrote: ↑August 3rd, 2019, 6:41 am Section 69 - Irish in Thule (time 2:09)

I think the text here is confused between Ireland and Iceland, but I have read it as printed.
excellent job, Fongie, so great to have you read these sections. I was thrilled to hear all the local names with the correct Swedish pronunciations Also the flight of Gustav Vasa through these regions was fun to listen to, as I knew many of these localities from my own trip through Sweden two years ago. Nice to hear them mentioned now.Fongie wrote: ↑August 3rd, 2019, 9:49 am First one about Vasa. Calling him "Gustavus" is weird since it's some sort of latinized version. He is called Gustav Vasa here

thank you, Jo, these are all wonderfully read and PL ok. After the longer sections, it's really a treat to get this info in a nutshells. I love the historical notes. (though some info was a bit repetitive this time )knotyouraveragejo wrote: ↑August 3rd, 2019, 10:27 am Here are my first 3 sections.

hello Phjodor and welcome to this World story series. I'm happy you're interested in the topics of this part. Section 33 is reserved for you. Have fun !
haha, yes they are quite special, but I think you did a great job with them. And wow the narrative of the eruptions in Iceland again reminds me what a dangerous holiday I was spending there a few years ago. We actually did a short hike on the Vatnajökull and our hotel was not far away from the Hekla. And apparently some huge volcanoes are already long overdue in their regular eruptions.
