Beowulf Reading Part 41

Part 41 of Beowulf. This is the last part.


(Left click to play, right click to download and save.)

Overall, the reading has done well with collectively over 72,000 downloads (and more to come). Next up will be a classic poem (which I want to keep a surprise), although I haven't decided whether to post it before or after Podcast Ping 43 (which will be the last for a while). I'm planning to get into THE UNSTOPPABLE RIDE some time next week.

Beowulf Reading Part 39

Part 39 of Beowulf.

Just a couple left after this. I've been trying to finish these as fast as possible so the quality may have slipped a little, but I understand that some students are already getting into exams this week and I don't know if any were using this reading to help study. But the main reason for hurrying it along was so that I could start the audio book, which I should be getting into next week.

Beowulf Reading 5

Here is part five of Beowulf.

With the holidays coming up, this will be the last episode of Beowulf until the new year. I'll still be posting regular episodes of Podcast Ping. I've recorded a few more Beowulf, but a cold over the past couple weeks kept me from doing as much as I wanted to. But I do want to get at least a couple a week out in January. I have even considered using Tuesdays which I would normally use for a regular episode. But either way, I will get through it.

Beowulf Reading 4

The fourth part of Beowulf.

I still haven't settled on a schedule for these but I would like to get about three a week done if possible. However, that might not happen until after the holidays.

Beowulf Reading 3

The third part of Beowulf.

http://www.archive.org/download/BeowulfReading3/BeowulfReading3.mp3

The Prologue and first part has been quite popular--using one particular distribution system it's seen over 2000 downloads. It's a legitimate distribution system (and not spam), but for obvious reasons I'm not quite ready to reveal it just yet. I'm still experimenting with it and I want to get a little more data before I describe the system.

Some already know how it's done and have found there way here from it. Some have tried using it before for podcasts. And since there's two critical parts (three if you consider titles), some have only used one and not seen as much success. But I will reveal it soon.

Beowulf Reading 2

Beowulf 2.

From what I can gather, the reading has been quite successful so far. I'm likely to do more after finishing this and have a shorter poem in mind which should only be about six or seven parts.
