I listen to a lot of MP3s, some of them overt podcasts and others productions that don’t quite fit into the ‘podcast’ rubric as it’s been developed in a year of experimentation.

The best inducement I can think of is to ask that score of folks to invest 2:30 in an excerpt<\/a>, in which Gardner is deliciously eloquent on Magic in the human voice, on the Theatre of the Mind, and on the Explaining Voice: “when we hear someone read with understanding, we participate in that understanding, almost as if the voice is enacting our own comprehension…”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
