I’d Record Something, But….

I had a busy weekend, I’m having a busy work week, and I’m just too pooped.
On the bright side, I am not sick! Also, I should be going from insanely busy to just plain busy after tomorrow. So maybe I can get this podcast moving again soon.
As always, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Envy Is a Sin.

Fr. Z of wdtprs.com is afraid that his PODCAzT isn’t providing a good ROI (return on investment). I mean, he’s only having 200-1000 downloads per episode. In a month.
*sound of grinding teeth, then amused laughter*
Yeah, Fr. Z. Some of us get 1000 downloads — divided by twenty chapters! Or only after a year of downloads. [...]

#832: Ch. 1, The Girl of the Golden West by David Belasco

The Girl of the Golden West by David Belasco was a hit play, then a novel, and finally a classic Italian opera! This one’s the novelization.
I’ve been meaning to do this one since the beginning of the podcast, but I was kinda afraid this one would turn people off. I mean, a Western? [...]

#830: Ch. 20, The Lani People by J.F. Bone

The Lani People concludes in old school sf style — with a twist! (Also, many of the things I was concerned about were addressed in the final chapter.) It’s been an interesting ride, and I’m sorry this author didn’t write other novels for us. Thank goodness for the public domain.

Take that, evil sinus oppressor!

Return of the Undead Sinus

Just as soon as I get over one sinus infection, my sinuses start giving me more trouble. Yes, my throat’s sore again. In the middle of summer.
I really need to get some serious intercession from St. Blaise….
Please be patient with me.

Can’t Win for Losing

Sinus infection is gone. Inability to sleep through the night is back. Still no energy.
I hate being such a wimp about this, but expect podcasting to be light this week. Again.
Bah.

Throat Still Sore; Knight Still Doleful.

Sorry, folks. I think I’d better just adjourn the podcast for the week. Next weekend, I’ll feel better.
Meanwhile, the folks at Librivox have finished reading an unabridged English translation by John Ormsby of Don Quixote. Your literature teacher will love to point this out as an anti-chivalry book; but really, I think it’s the Northanger [...]
