two new podcasts

I just wanted to get these out before I head for Kosovo.  Because I may never return to Greece.  It the same reason why I'm cleaning my apartment tonight.  (I don't like leaving a mess.)

#1: My (bad) play-by-play of a Greek basketball game. Click here for direct download. 4:51, 2.9 MB

#2: Thessaloniki's Rotunda, an article for a fake travel magazine.  Click here for direct download. 3:30, 2.1 MB

Pictures of the Rotunda


The exterior, which one sage wittily described as a collage of geometry. (he probably meant geometric shapes.)


The fresco at the tippy of the Rotunda.

Click here to see a video of the Rotunda's scaffolding.  Guaranteed to make you think of being dizzy.

Additional thoughts:  I enjoyed doing both of these.  I want to do some more play-by-play.  It probably won't get posted here.  If you need play-by-play, listen to John at KGRN--he's way better than me.  However, I think I'll do some more audioblogging on the sites of Thessaloniki and Greece.  Knowing that I'll be writing about it makes me put on my thinking cap and use my thinking notebook and snap pictures with my thinking digital camera.  And I like thinking.
Also, I like comments.  Please let me know what you think of my podcasts, whether it be the topic, the sound quality, or the delivery.

Y'know, there are some good parts to this one song. I'll give them that.
I've been a bit too harsh on them. But my heart (and opinion) have been in the right place.

Brad,
I think it is great your taking the risk to podcast your practice broadcasts. You might consider mimicing some of the big name announcers. I think style is a big think in basketball broadcasting. Keep it up.

risk?
I think the beauty is that there's no risk. No one has to listen to it, unless they want to. It is "taking the effort" and "taking the time."
And I think mimicing would just make it unnatural. But I try to listen to the best, and see what works for them.
sorry, maybe I'm quibbling.
