It was interesting to hear your voice, you have a nice one!
I’ve never read Patrick White either, I think I was supposed to read Tree of Man in high school but somehow managed not to. You’ve almost persuaded me to make the effort.

Thanks, Marcus. And yes, I agree, never say never

Cheers Kathryn, that’s what we were trying to do (have a relaxing feel to them). We also wanted to make sure our podcast subscribers - there are millions of them out there after all (jk - had something to listen to over the summer break.

Thanks for the feedback Tom, I’ll pass it on to my colleagues. We’re constantly tweaking the podcasts and can always make the music softer for future recordings! As for a new career, well, I dunno..

Like the reviews and your voice sounds great when you’re reading the extract from The Vivisector - maybe a sideline in narrating audiobooks awaits?

I found the background music distracting - a little too loud. My hearing isn’t 100%, maybe that makes a difference.

The podcasts have a very relaxing, summer reading mood.

Nice initiative. Academic libraries should be doing more to create pleasure for their clients, not just meet their research needs. Nice way of connecting with the community.

You sounded very credible, too. Doesn’t make me want to rush out and re-read my Patrick White, however. I wouldn’t mind having his books read to me, though….might look up some talking books at my local library.

Never say never. I think it’s a natural progression since you have been embracing all kinds of new media tech.

And the podcast was well done - nice touch with the background music. It sounded Triple-J-ish to me too.
