Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
A while back, I submitted some readings to a website called For Your Ears Only. They post audio files of people reading smut.
I had smut and I had a recorder and I gotta voice. So I made some recordings and sent them off. I was pretty excited, because there are some real heavyweights on the site.
Tonight, I went looking for the site to send them some more stuff, and I found out they're doing a podcast now.
They've got six episodes up so far. Three of them are mine.
Two of them are, gasp gasp, Carol Queen reading from The Leather Daddy and the Femme.
I know that may not mean a lot to a lot of people out there. But think about the thing that you love the most, and try really hard to be good at. And then think of the person who's the best at that thing. And then try to imagine that your work was chosen to go next to hers.
And you'll understand why I'm trying to catch my breath.
Congratulations! I checked out the podcast site and it's funny because it's Dutch, so iTunes is in Dutch, which looks really funny to me. So I got a smile all over the place.
Congratulations Megan! I always enjoy your readings, and I'm glad all sorts of other people can now, too.
OOH!!! That is so freaking awesome Megan! Lets celebrate tonight over...quinoa and tofu! and greens!
xox
Thank you everyone! It is very exciting. I don't know if a lot of people listen to the podcast, but man, it's nice to be in such good company.
And yes! Celebration over greens and tofu and quinoa!
I would just like to point out that your bargaining power has decreased significantly because of this podcast technology.
Now that I can hear your voice on the interweb, what good reason would I have to barter goods/services to hear you read me stories now?!
Dammit! Shooting myself in the foot, again!
Luckily, I still have that cat. I think she may be a better bargaining chip than stories.
Exploiting the love Freya and I have for each other!
I believe that's a check mate.
