Changes in Grizzly's Growls
I decided to make a significant change (or change back) in Grizzly's Growls.
The live, midday, Sunday show just isn't working for me. Most people aren't around for the live part, and I'm usually not prepared to do a live show, unless I'm also prepared to do a recorded show. And I've never been ready to do a recorded show at noon. I always fiddle with stuff all Sunday, then finally get the silly thing recorded at the last minute on Sunday, edit it late at night, and get it done at some ridiculous hour of the morning Monday.
Sure, I -had- the live show on Sunday, but I still haven't edited it, and if and when I -do- edit it, it'll kinda suck, because I had nothing to say. Ended up playing a bunch of music, and talking briefly with one guy on the phone. He was calling from the UK, had a lot of background noise, and most of the time I couldn't understand what he was saying. Not his fault. Not something I could "fix in post," either.
I might well do better on live shows if I had a co-host, so between the two of us we'd always have something to talk about. But maybe not. And if I'm that boring, it'd be unfair to inflict that burden on a co-host. ;-)
So the Sunday shows as currently constituted are gone for the moment. Gotta think about that one a bit.
One option would be to just leave the BTR shows on BTR and forget about the copying and editing business. But with The IDSL, I really prefer to produce a better-quality version. Really don't like the low-bitrate mono files BTR archives automatically. Not fair to the music or the musicians for the low quality copy to be the only copy. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right.
I'll let you know.

Coming soon on Stories from the Hiber-Nation: "Heretics"
I'm seriously considering my next project for "Stories from the Hiber-Nation" being a collections of essays by G.K. Chesterton, entitled "Heretics." I admit, it's a kind of odd choice.
I first encountered G.K. Chesterton while going through an extended period reading murder mysteries & such. He wrote the "Father Brown" mysteries, of which you may have heard. If you haven't read them, and you like mysteries, you should read them. Not brilliant, but rather well done, and Father Brown is an appealing character.
Recently I came across a quotation from a Chesterton essay from his book, "Orthodoxy," which was a sequel of sorts to "Heretics." And not wanting to start with the second book, but loving the way that was written, that led me to consider starting at the beginning, with "Heretics."
Consider.
People who aren't like me might not appreciate Chesterton. The book is old, the style of writing is old. And it certainly seems on the surface like it ought to be heavy going for a reader. I'm not a religious man, and I don't agree with everything Chesterton says. But it is remarkably refreshing in these times to read someone who feels strongly about religion, and can speak intelligently about it without growling and foaming at the mouth. There are still people who can do that. You don't hear about them on TV, though.
So the Plan is to start recording "Heretics" soon, to be the next book for "Stories from the Hiber-Nation." Will I end up posting that to Podiobooks.com, too?
Don't know yet. Don't know that there'd be much interest. But I just might. Not because of a greater or lesser value to the book; I'm just too lazy to record a whole book and not also put it on Podiobooks.com. And Evo did say they wanted more non-fiction.
Besides, it'll be fun.
Trust me.

Arbitrary and Capricious Extensions
I was just glancing at the copy of the NaBloPoMo Colllective Feed that shows up at the bottom of my own blog, and realized I wasn't in the feed anymore. In fact, there were only two blogs left in the feed.
That seemed kinda silly. Oh, I suppose it doesn't make sense to have a collective feed of blogs that aren't doing NaBloPoMo at the moment. But the ones that are, or may be, haven't asked to participate. And it was looking kinda sparse.
So I went back to the list and Arbitrarily and Capriciously updated a whole bunch of blogs on the list, just so there's something in there. Including mine, of course. I don't know if the blogs selected actually wanted to be on the list anymore. And if you want off, I'll take you off.
But I was bored.
