I enjoyed it too but unfortunately I may have to edit it a little.
I want it tighter and faster.
I think I'll leave in that wonderfully camp last line and some of those frightful things you did to the poor German language. :)

The link is here to your file Tbol3 so those who'd like to hear your section in its full glory will be able to get it here on this thread.

The first two podcasts were awesome. Can I have a turn to host some week?

Absolutely!
Your release date for your podcast is 12th October.
Ideally get it to me for the 11th so I can put it on archive.org and update the podcast.xml file.

This week's podcast is nearly ready.
Release day is Thursday.

Prize quiz this week with 2 prizes, one for Mac, one for Windows.

I have a registration code for Sound Studio 3 http://www.freeverse.com/soundstudio/

and a promise from NCH Swift Sound for VRS Basic license or a TRx license or a SoundTap license. http://www.nch.com.au/software/index.html

The quiz will consist of short clips from cataloged Librivox books and you have to figure out the name of the book and the name of the reader.

I think life intervened, and he hasn't been able to devote as much time here as he used to.

Well, the next podcast is not due until Thursday but it's ready now so I figure, why wait.
I've uploaded the new file to Archive.org
I've updated the podcast file but I haven't received it with my podcast receiver yet so maybe there's a problem with that.
I'll have a look.

Enjoy :)

Brilliant, Jim! (I hope you appreciate just how good you are at this!)

Three cheers too for TBOL3, and for Stephan - I like the idea of appealing for proof-listeners!

It's amazing how much is going on here. Truly amazing.
