LibriVox Forum

I was writing with an idea that you might consider appealing. Let me run it by you and see. Here it goes:

Lately, I have been asking intelligent producers of podcasts to write guest pieces on their areas of expertise. So, for example, the producer of Poetry Aloud wrote last week a feature on poetry podcasts. And soon before that, the creator of a science podcast called "The Missing Link" wrote a survey of what's happening in the world of science podcasts. This led me to think it might be interesting for those who produce audiobooks for Librivox to contribute pieces about the authors/books they know so well. The appeal would be twofold: First, it might be simply nice to write something about books and authors they love, and to say something interesting about a recording that they have worked on for so long. Second, the piece (which would only be a few paragraphs long) would reach an audience that would definitely have an interest in what they're saying, and it would almost certainly get users to their recording on Librivox.

If this sounds generally interesting to you, we should perhaps talk more about how to approach this. But hopefully this is enough to help you determine whether or not this seems like an interesting project. There's no pressure either way.

Would be cool!
