Podcast Ping 54 - Tyger, Tyger by William Blake

This time I decided to do a reading of Tyger, Tyger by William Blake. It's a little shorter than normal since I only used two songs, however both happen to deal with animals. I could have fit in three but the music would have overtaken the poetry.

I also decided not to do an intro for the poem. I couldn't think of much to say and I didn't want to just throw one in for the sake of having one.

I've had an idea for another podcast, although I will have to spend some time writing something up first. I've been experimenting with speech synthesized recordings of my blog postings and I might have a theme for another podcast. But I'll have to see how it goes. I don't want to drop Blue Hot Gossip since it's good for any comedy I come up with, and I'm not going to drop Podcast Ping.

Although I don't have a lot of free time right now for working on podcasts. I have tried to justify it by adding a little bit of advertising for my toystore into the podcast, but if the podcast isn't getting enough downloads that does little good. While I've been resistant to the idea, I might wind up adding a donation button.
