Thank you! It's queued for proof-listening. A couple of technical points for the future:

The filename should be outline_04_gowen_128kb.mp3. If you need to re-upload the section for another reason, please use that name. Otherwise, I'll fix it during cataloging.

Also, we ask readers to include the seconds in the duration (mm:ss), which is helpful for checking that we got the correct version, in case there's an update with edits.

Here is Chapter 16, "The Coming of the Foreigner":

Duration 36:50

N.B.: I did not reference any footnotes.
N.B. 2: I had a much harder time pronouncing the Portuguese names than the Japanese (or even Chinese) ones! Good thing I checked, though, because if I had guessed at the pronunciations, it would have come out as a hodgepodge of vaguely & totally wrong Spanish-ish-ish-sounding stuff. I just hope that I -- as a furrener -- haven't mangled any of these furren-type names too badly.

Thank you, Louise! Yes, Portuguese names are fun. You can tell when your pronunciation is top-notch when no one except Portuguese speakers can recognize them.

Hi there! Not sure if I'm nearing my deadline for the other two chapters I have, but I wanted to ask for a small extension on them. It's been a busy couple of months!

Best wishes,
Drew

No worries. I've extended the deadline by a month to June 2. Thanks for checking in!

Hi, here's chapter 25. I'm trying out a new mic so I'm sorry for the inconsistencies on the recording. Let me know if there are any changes needed
