Episode Five: Wolf Alice
2008-04-19 06:49:40
Jackson Pollock's "She-Wolf." Upon first reading this short story, from the piles and piles of half-remembered paintings shoved into the filing cabinets of my brain, this image popped into memory. After several minutes of googling "beast" and "abstract" and "painting" and "expressionism," at last, I found it. And, wouldn't you know, it showed itself in some long-forgotten blog entry discussing this exact short story. I was partly annoyed, but mostly amazed, by this coincidence. On a more personal note, I've noticed I have more than a few subscribers already (hooray)--yet, sadly, no comments. Please feel free to stop by and say hello, if you feel so inclined! (Note to self: it's irreparable, not irrepairable. Sheesh.)Download [64kb] ...

Episode Four: Beauty and the Beast
2008-04-19 06:10:10
Half of me is temped to get on my soapbox and rant about how useless current little girl "princess" culture is, and how Belle and Jasmine are the only Disney "princesses" worth anything, but the other half of me is exhausted and half asleep. I fear all that might come of it, in this sleepy state of mine, would be random murmurings of buzz words like "gender stereotypes" and "limited expectations," with the occasional "mmmrrrrr" and "snooooore" thrown in. Perhaps next fairy tale post.For now, I hope you enjoy these two delightful variations of the beauty and the beast story, "The Summer and Winter Garden," and "The Singing, Springing Lark," both compiled and translated by Joseph and Wilhelm Grimm.

Episode Six: How to Talk to Girls at Parties
2008-04-19 06:07:41
Don't let the shaggy-hair and five o'clock shadow fool you. Neil Gaiman is one of the most talented and successful storytellers of this generation. Fantasy, science fiction, mythology, horror, short fiction, novels, screenplays. You name it; Gaiman can rock it and rock it hard. Hell, the man could walk around in his pajamas, for all I care. As long as he never stops writing (Plus, he's sort of dreamy, eh?)Download [64kb] ...

Episode One: The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County
2008-02-07 13:30:32
Hello, Internet. I'm Christina. As inspired by one of my favorite corners of the web, Miette's Bedtime Story Podcast, this podcast will attempt a similar premise. I will read you stories. I hope you enjoy them. I thought we'd kick things off with Mark Twain's short classic, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." A fun little bit of Americana you'd have to be nuts not to appreciate. Behold my pathetic attempt at a southern accent, and may the podcast BEGIN!Download [64kb] ...

Episode Three: A Haunted House
2008-02-07 13:24:03
Alright, this is starting to feel legit. From now on, my podcasts will include a fair bit more than just the reading, as podcasts should. I'm new at this, remember? It'll take some time to get my bearings, spread my wings, and other such idioms.Also, I have decided to conduct a little--and by little, I mean massive--experiment with this 'ere blog 'o mine. I have subscribed to and linked every blog directory I could find. Not only does this look hilarious; it might just increase my audience. It's a win-win situation.Without further ado, I present Virginia Woolf's "A Haunted House."Download [64kb] ...

Episode Two: One of These Days
2008-02-07 12:52:40
In keeping with my single-post spree of mustachioed authors, here's Gabriel Garcia Marquez' "One of These Days." Quite possibly my favorite author, and certainly my favorite Hispanic author.I do wish I knew Spanish well enough to be able to enjoy his works in their original language, rather than their translated English-counterparts. But, alas. I shame my Mexican blood with my English degree.Download [64kb] ...
