I recorded Chapter 4 of "The History Of The Telephone." It came in at 74 minutes 21 seconds. Do I edit it to get the time down to 60 minutes, or do you do that?

Hi randyj, 74:21 will be ok. We generally consider 74 minutes to be the max, but the 21 seconds over isn't enough to be worried about. Looking forward to your recording.

Here's my recording. Title: The History Of The Telephone, Chapter 4. Author: Herbert Casson. URL of source: https://archive.org/details/historytelephon00cassgoog

Hi Randy, Thanks for your contribution! This chapter of telephone history picks up at a most interesting point. "To the general public, it was a mere scientific toy; but there were a few men, not many, in these wire-stringing trades, who saw a glimmering chance of creating a telephone business."


You read very well. Good luck with your return to voice work!

I'm Randy Price. I live in North Carolina. I was in broadcast radio for about 10 years in the late '60s-early '70s. I was a telecommunications technician for 31 years and still do some contract telecom work. Now that I'm retired I'm hoping to get back into some voice work.

Thanks Randy

Herbert Newton Casson wrote an interesting article and you made it more interesting with your reading style.

One small error noted:

44:08 These boys had a benefactor in an old bachelor named Thomas Bond. – you said old school teacher

Thanks Randy.

I am very sorry I did that. Somehow, I wrote "schoolteacher" when I wrote the script for the one-sentence correction. I apologize. Here's the corrected version.

Thanks for your contribution, Colleen! I see the U.S. denied Zizianoff a visa. https://www.throughthehourglass.com/2020/05/

Yeah she sounds like she was actually a little wacky, but the article was still interesting...

Thanks, Randy! I've just started to listen to this as I'm entering the data; the family history is quite interesting!
