Welcome to the inaugural Virtual Memories podcast! You can download it here: mp3<\/a> or AAC\/m4a<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought a UBS microphone in June 2006, so it’s clear that I intended to start a podcast more than four years ago. I’m just getting around to it now because I’m lazy. I’m pretty sure that boat had already sailed on this form back then, so now maybe it’s retro-hip or something.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this installment is really just a proof-of-concept: some intro music, then a little literary reading from a wonderful book, followed by an explanation\/apology. I just wanted to figure out how to edit and assemble audio clips in Garage Band. Next time out, I’ll work on mastering my voice-recording better. Also, I’ll work on sounding less wraith-like.<\/p>\n

Once the technical stuff is ironed out, I hope to put together some good content for you, in the form of interviews\/conversations, readings from favorite books, essays and\/or poems, and maybe an accordion performance or two, once I learn how to play that instrument.<\/p>\n

So enjoy Virtual Memories Radio! Now in MP3<\/a> or AAC<\/a>!<\/p>\n
