Podcast Ping 25

This episode doesn't have a specific theme.

I may post another bonus episode on Tuesday instead of a movie critique but I would like to get another one in before the end of the year. I may also get into posting Beowulf weekly, likely Thursdays, depending upon how things go; I don't like to put episodes too close together or feed readers are inclined to miss them.

Beowulf Reading 1

The first chapter.

Beowulf Reading - Prologue

I've decided to tackle Beowulf, all 41 parts plus the prologue. I can't say what the release schedule will be but I will be continuing to release my regular episodes on Sundays and Tuesdays.

Podcast Ping Bonus 6 - Going Going Gone

The songs in this episode reflect the title, Going, Going, Gone.

Next Tuesday, provided I get the opportunity, I would like to put up another movie commentary. I've been meaning to do one for a while but haven't had the chance.

If I don't, I'll at least re-release the poetry from episodes 1-9 then. I'll try to get them back up some time before the end of the year. I want to rerecord them first. I've learned how to do a better performance since I first recorded them so they should be more interesting to listen to.

I didn't realize how much poetry I've done. So far I've posted over one hundred poems, the one hundredth being back in episode 22. I expect to have posted one hundred and seventy-five before the end of the year. The rate should slow down next year because I'll be doing about six a week instead of the about ten a week that I'm currently doing. I calculate I'll reach two hundred sometime around the end of January or start of February and by this time next year I could have over four hundred posted.

Podcast Ping 24 - Writing

The theme of this podcast is writing.

As some might have noticed, I've removed the older posts of episodes 1-9 because I felt someone sampling the show might get the wrong impression. I will redo the poetry and post it at a later date.

Remember, the music is free and legal under podsafe music provisions so don't worry about subscribing or downloading.

Podcast Ping Bonus 5 - Ways

Not much to say but here it is:

As a matter of scheduling, I plan to replace one of the upcoming Tuesday bonus episodes with another movie commentary (if I can find the time). I also don't plan on putting one out Christmas day (which falls on a Tuesday), although I have a couple of Christmas episodes prior. In the new year the Tuesday episodes will have regular episode numbers instead of being labeled as bonus episodes.

Podcast Ping 23 - Comrades

This episode honours those who died during the war with a tribute to Dr. John McCrae and a reading of "In Flanders' Fields" at the end.

It seems I made a mistake and left the credits out. I recorded them but when I edited the show together I accidently added the Podshow.com credit instead.

Here they are:
Music:
Deana Carter - On The Road Again
Dust Rhinos-Perfect World
Great Big Sea-The Chemical Workers Song/Process Man
Celtic Woman-You Raise Me Up
Dempsey Doodle-My Folks Have Always Been Here
Great Big Sea-General Taylor

Poetry:
Ways
Unity
The Assassin
I Try
To A Poppy
Poppies Are Red
By Patrick McNamara

Dr. John McCrae tribute by Patrick McNamara

In Flanders' Fields by Dr. John McCrae

Note: I put it up a bit early because I want to see if it would work better to post on Saturdays or Sundays. I would rather have an episode a day early than a day late and I suspect so would listeners.

If you notice I've added some buttons to the podcast page at http://podcastping.blogspot.com to make it easier to subscribe. I've also put a link which allows one to subscribe by e-mail; each time a new episode comes out an e-mail is sent to your inbox. This service is offered through Feedburner and I don't have any control of it so if you have a problem you'll have to deal with them about it, but I've tested it and it works.

I've also added a player from Podcast Pickle to allow you to play the podcasts right from the webpage.

Addendum: You can see the pumpkin I carved this year and those I carved in previous years at http://www.geocities.com/writerpatrick/pumpkin.html.
