As I have continued to think about how to handle the podcast during our trip to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador in October, I had the idea to see if I might be able to upload episodes from my iPhone 6 Plus during the trip. I won’t have my MacBook Air with me, so this would be a streamlined, stripped-down version of the show. But it might be of interest to you, if I can find topics related to the Kindle and eBooks, mixed in with sounds and observations of a more general nature from the trip. 

To record this test audio, I used a very simple iOS app named Opinion, which enabled me to share the file to my Dropbox account. From there, I opened my Libsyn dashboard in Safari on the iPhone, and it seems to be working. 

Please let me know if this arrives in your podcatcher and how it sounds!

Thanks, Len

P.S. For the image test, I’m enclosing a photo of Claire taken here at Ocean Park last week. 

 

Excerpt from an interview on September 12, 2010, with Diane Williamson, wife of handcrafted fine art photographer Joel Anderson, on her support of his artwork through Twitter.  I discovered Joel’s booth at the St. Louis Art Fair because a tweet Diane posted.

Comments from Ray and Mark, two of those who attended President Obama’s town hall meeting on health care today, August 11, 2009.  Although they disagreed with the health care reform proposal, they said they thought Obama was honest and did a good job at the session.

Phillip Zannini, aka @phillymac, an good Internet friend of mine, tells how this morning on the way to Podcamp Boston 4 he received what may well have been a divine inspiration to launch a new podcast.  It sounds very promising to me, and I was glad to be one of his first guests on The Three Quick Tips Podcast. Stay tuned!

This is a presentation on how to pay for health care reform, given July 18, 2009 by Rahul Rajkumar, senior advisor to Doctors for America, at an Organizing for America forum in Dorchester, Mass.

My longtime Casper, Wyoming, friend Neil J. Short is almost 62 and does not put in an inordinate amount of time on exercise. But he’s passionate about the benefits of daily exercise, as he shows clearly in this conversation we had today in my living room in Denver. 

Neil couldn’t possibly have been talking to someone less involved in outdoor exercise, but even I am convinced that there is no denying the truth of what he says so well.

Mark J. Penn, Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist in the 2008 campaign and the author of Microtrends, spoke on April 25, 2009 at the Sheraton Commander Hotel in Cambridge before a lunch organized by The Harvard Crimson, the university’s daily newspaper, of which Penn is an alumnus.

This is a recording of his talk and the wide-ranging Q&A afterward.

 

Kevin Rafferty talks about his documentary, “Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29” before a screening of the film at the Denver Film Society‘s Starz Theatre in Denver on April 14, 2009.  With audience Q&A after the screening.

I was a freshman at Harvard on November 23, 1968, the day of a legendary football game between Harvard and Yale.  Rafferty’s loving attention to the details of that game and the characters of the players makes this a most satisfying film and a highly original portrait of the Sixties.

UPDATE: Harvard buffs may also be interested in this interview I did with my Harvard friend Ben Beach when he and I first saw the movie in Cambridge the weekend of the 40th anniversary of the 29-29 tie. Ben is a former sports editor of The Harvard Crimson and has more details on the mystery surrounding who actually wrote the iconic headline that became the title of the movie.
