Chapters 5 and 6 up for PL! Chapters 7&8 to come-

Great reading! A couple of minor problems in section 6:

(6:42) stumble/repeat to cut "not without..."
(15:20) p. 114 I hear "valutinadarian" instead of "valetudinarian"

Also, some technical issues in both sections:

1) There should be 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning (there are currently about 5).
2) There should be 5 seconds of silence at the end. You have 6-7 seconds, which I might have called "close enough", but since you're already shortening it at the start, let's shorten that too.
3) I need to ask you to cut "For more information on this reader, etc" (0:24-0:28 in section 5 and 0:22-0:27 in section 6), which is not part of our intro format. On the other hand, we have a place to list your personal website on your reader page. You can also change the name displayed in the catalog to something other than your forum name (e.g., your full name). Let me know and I can change those for you.
4) Going by our current format, location can be added after the reader's name in the outro, but not in the intro. I won't make you change it here, but please keep that in mind for the future.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks Michael. I'll make those cuts- and learn google how to pronounce valetudinarian
Chapters 7 & 8 are recorded, but not yet edited. You can expect them by the week's end.

Hey Micheal. I've made those snips you asked for, and have finished editing sections 7 & 8 to boot. One hiccup- I could not find a stumble/repeat of "not without" at 6:42 in section 6. Try though I might, I couldn't hear the words 'not without' spoken in my recording, nor could I find them on those pages. Perhaps you meant another time? In any case, there's now plenty for you to listen to.

Thank you! I'll double-check for the repeat.

Sorry, my time was off by a minute. It's now at 7:33.

In section 8 there's a stumble/repeat at 11:22 ("where, among...").

Sections 5 and 7 are PL OK!

Also, for the future, please try to leave between 0.5 and 1 seconds of silence at the start. Our instructions are that way because some MP3 players swallow the first fraction of a second.

Thanks!
Michael
