The "Heretics" Promo

August 30, 2009 15:50 - 2 minutes - 1.85 MB

Wanted to make sure you check out my just-completed Promo for my reading of "Heretics," by GK Chesterton, on Podiobooks.com. Of course, Heretics has already been appearing here.  But I think I chose rather well as to what brief excerpt effectively conveys the overall message of "Heretics."  Didn't do anything terribly imaginative with it. But Promos are good. Thanks! Griz

Hiber-Nation 73a -- Coming Attractions (Comment line 218-234-CALL)

July 15, 2009 09:12 - 9 minutes - 8.63 MB

Just wanted to give you a heads-up on my next book for the series. I'll be recording a book called "Heretics," by G.K. Chesterton.  It's not a story, it's a collection of essays on religion and politics, ethics and morality, heresy and orthodoxy.  These are serious topics, yet the book manages to be clever and funny, I think, intelligent and witty and not at all vehement as discussions of these topics tend to be these days. Chesterton was an intelligent man who didn't take himself too serio...

The Wolf That Changed America

March 08, 2009 03:24

I wanted to point you to a video broadcast on the PBS program "Nature," called "Lobo: The Wolf That Changed America."  The BBC originally did it, narrated by Richard Attenborough.  The PBS version is narrated by F. Murray Abraham. Hard to compete with.  ;-) This explains why "Wild Animals I Have Known" became such an important book, and to a point, why I recorded it. Here's a link so you can find the full show and watch it on the PBS site. (http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/the-wolf-...
