Audio Version

[Elisabetta Buendia]

Idon't know which truth to tell - that I believe these are a great way to reach people who prefer to listen to podcasts so that even if there are only a few hundreds or thousands it can extend your reach even further, or that I am concerned for your own mental and physical health as you try every way you can to reach us all. Please remember that if you don't take care of yourself you can't help anyone else.

On Substack the default setting is that no one will automatically receive the AUDIO letters. So if you don\u2019t want the audio version, you\u2019re all set. You will still get the written letters and you can ignore the information below.

If you DO want to receive the audio version automatically every day, you will need to go into your Settings page at Substack. (You will find a link to the Settings page by clicking on your subscriber name at the upper right hand corner of the Letters home page, and scrolling down to \u201CSettings\u201D). On the Settings page, scroll down to click on your subscription to Letters from an American and then scroll to \u201CManage your subscription.\u201D There, you will see an on/off button next to \u201CReceive email for new podcast episodes.\u201D Switch the audio version ON. If you do that, you will continue to get the written letters AND you will get an ADDITIONAL EMAIL, the next day, with the audio file in it.

Remember, the audio versions are also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts. They are getting good reviews, but listening has fallen way off since the early days. I\u2019m going to give it at least a few more weeks to see if they pick up again\u2014 my guess is that they\u2019re a good thing to have out there, but we\u2019ll see.

Has anyone ever added an audio option to their blog posts hosted in HubSpot? Ideally, we'd like to have an embedded player listed at the top of our posts in case our website visitors want to listen instead of reading.

That would be great! We'd love to see it all! Could you send over some dates/times that would work for you? I'd love to meet & have our web developer be a part as well! (rebecca...@thecrossingchurch.com)

I look at our integration as well, but currently, HubSpot does not support that too. If you know of any integration that can perform the above action, you can try to search for it within the app marketplace. If not, you would have to get a web developer to build them a custom integration.

Probably im doing something wrong, but converting all audios in to a real copy and using the trick above, will then change only one of the samples in that specific track instead of all sequence, am I missing something?

Edit: I still think this is a good feature request. If a track is all shared copies of one single file, when we create a duplicate of this track, why not have the option to have the events of the track be one new different real copy, shared among all the events of the track.

I have a new respect for audiobooks. It turns out that narrating a piece of writing is grueling as fuck. But simultaneously kind of fun. The post is 40,000 words, and the recording ended up clocking in at 3 hours and 43 minutes. I split it up into five parts that mirror the five pages of the written post. I also created a merged version for anyone who just wants to deal with one file.

The 100 civics (history and government) questions and answers for the 2008 version of the civics portion of the naturalization test are listed below. The civics test is an oral test and the USCIS officer will ask the applicant up to 10 of the 100 civics questions. An applicant must answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly to pass the civics portion of the naturalization test.

On the naturalization test, some answers may change because of elections or appointments. As you study for the test, make sure that you know the most current answers to these questions. Answer these questions with the name of the official who is serving at the time of your eligibility interview with USCIS.

Although USCIS is aware that there may be additional correct answers to the 100 civics questions, applicants are encouraged to respond to the civics questions using the answers provided below.

YES! And best of all it is on sale now at audible.com. My ds and I listened to it last year, and what I love about the audio recording is how his narration style changes with the prose. I went into it not knowing that large, huge, erm...whale sized chunks of the book are tedious description of whales and whaling. It would be a tough read, but the audio was captivating.

Orson Wells reading the opening lines is very cool indeed. But as I listened I started thinking of just how long the audio version of the entire book would be if he were to have recorded the whole thing with..........all.............those dramatic ...........pauses:D

Have you heard the Anthony Heald recording? I really appreciated his performance, not in comparison to other Moby Dick readers but in comparison to the many other audio books I've listened to. I probably picked his out in the audible.com line up of Moby Dicks after comparing the sample recordings of all the different versions. It is so fascinating how different each reader is, and how much time difference there is in the final product!

I am currently listening to the Anthony Heald version on playaway. I find it to be a rather decent version. BEfore I got it I had heard it was the best version to get to I had searched for it through interlibrary loan.

I want to do a free daily podcast of the Bible. Would I need permission of the copyright holder of the translation I am reading or would this be considered fair use? Would I need to state the source or, conversely, would I be restricted from stating the source without authorization?

First of all, yes, the (purported) author of the Bible has much better recourse than the standard Cease & Desist letter -- for example, He could send a plague of locusts or kill your kin and kine -- and arguments about "the life of the author" would probably make things worse rather than better, but, no, He probably won't take any sort of action.

And yes, the translator for any particular version does hold the copyright but there are many, many translations whose copyrights have long since expired. The King James Version (certainly the most poetic translation) saw its copyright expire before George Washington was born. There's also the now-public-domain American Standard Version.

There are those who claim that Shakespeare and Marlowe helped out on the KJV. I don't know if I believe that, but you don't have be a poet to realize that "hovering over the waters" is not the image you want to start your Bible with. Makes the Lord of Hosts sound like He's in a helicopter...

Issue 1: Making a recording of any copyrighted written work is subject to the same restrictions as making your own printed copy. If you were to buy a novel that is still protected by copyright and make an audio book of it without permission from the copyright owner and sell copies of this recording, they could sue you for copyright violation and easily win.

Issue 2: In general, copyright is good for the life of the author plus 70 years. So the copyright on the original Greek text of the New Testament ran out about 1900 years ago. The copyright on Genesis ran out something like 3300 years ago.

Issue 3: Translations have their own copyright, separate and distinct from the original work. So, for example, the New International Version was published in 1978. I presume (without checking, I don't think the detail is important here) that it's considered a "work for hire" and so had a 95 year copyright, so that won't run out until circa 2073.

Issue 4: You can quote short excerpts from a copyrighted work without permission. This is called "fair use". Exactly how much you can quote is decided on a case by case basis considering a variety of factors.

Issue 5: Many Bible translations try to simplify number 4 for you by giving explicit permission to copy specified amounts of the text. For example I think the Hohlman says you can copy up to 250 verses as long as you don't copy an entire book. (Some of the short books, like some of the shorter epistles, are less than 250 verses.)

Use a translation whose copyright has expired, like King James. (I've read that the UK has given the King James a perpetual copyright, and I see that statement repeated in one of the comments on another answer. But in the US, the copyright on King James ran out before there was a US.)

There are a number of reasons for this. First, the Virgin books were never quite as grim as their reputation. 80% of the jokes in the radio version were in the book. Second, as I kind of implied there, when I adapted it, I did add a few more jokes, and cut out some of the lengthier and technobabblier speeches.
