The wordcurrents podcasts

With the purchase of some excellent portable recording equipment (see photo below), I have begun podcasting the poetry in earnest. I have previously recorded some readings and commentaries which have suffered from the quality of the equipment.

I hope I get some feedback to let me know if the commentaries are useful; as well, since some of my readings are a bit unorthodox, to let me know if my experimentation is worth continuing.



This is the ZOOM H2 Handy recorder. It has four micophones (making it handy for our quartet rehearsals) and records in two formats at numerous quality levels (the higher the quality, the bigger the file.) So I am experimenting with that.

I am also using a new setting for the podcasts, in that there is both a list of the recordings and each poem has a player situated beneath it so that the you can read the text while listening. The controls allow you to stop the recording and to start the replay over again as well as to adjust the volume. I hope you tune in.
