Mostly ITP Podcast and Brer Rabbit Stories Online


Written on November 28, 2007 at 11:11 am, by Lain

Last week the good folks at the Georgia Podcast Network ambled on into the Wren’s Nest for a brief tour and a chat about blogging, podcasting, and being cool at a historical site in the 21st century.

Tune in here to hear me sound nervous on their show, Mostly ITP.

If you’re new to this site, this episode is a great intro to what the Wren’s Nest is, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. If you just enjoy hearing me squirm, this is also for you.

(Not actually taken at the Mostly ITP Podcast, but instead the Duck and Herring Podcast. You can tell by the fu manchu. More on them later this week.)

Props to GriftDrift, who alerted me to the podcast before I knew it was online.

Related, we were inspired by the Georgia Podcast Network’s audio interface, and put a couple complete audio stories online. Scroll on down to the bottom on the Stories page and listen to Miss Woodie tell my favorite story–Brer Rabbit Takes a Ride.

The stories are perfect for:

(a) teaching a classroom of first graders about trickster tales;

(b) taking a ten minute break from actual teaching;

(c) taking a ten minute break from just about anything;

(d) hearing the phrase “bodacious fib” in context.

    Thanks for doing the interview! We’re glad the Wren’s Nest is in good hands. It’s awesome that you have a “Failed Attempts at Looking Reputable” tag.

    And thanks for pointing us to the Duck & Herring podcast.

    It happens so often we figured we needed a tag for it.

    And yeah the Duck & Herring folks are spectacular and funny. They helped us out big time with the publication of Soy Nut Butter. Their latest publication, The Duck and Herring Cold Weather Field Guide, just came out. Then again, we’ll probably yap about them later this week, assuming Amelia ever comes out of hibernation.

    I also like the “birds other than wrens” tag.

    I heard about you through Mostly ITP. You can count on me dropping by at some point for a Saturday storytelling. I also look forward to seeing the wren’s nest mailbox!
