PODCAST DAY 4
Any podcasts out there today, our Podcast Day 4? Any recordings from the voting lines, soundbites from the masses, essays on the Great American Experiment? Go out and record? Stay here and write your thoughts and record them. Tell us a story. Do an interview? Launch into a rant about politics. Create an election song! Given the day is somewhat in suspended animation, we'll extend the day to Wednesday, too!

And you CAN do it if you don't have equipment! CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO.

To create a "podcast" just create a blog entry and upload the audio file (mp3 preferred) in the box near the top of the entry. Use KEYWORD: podcasts DATE: Nov. 4 (Begin earlier if you want. And post on Wednesday, too.)

And if you just want to blog in reaction to the national political news, click here and see our news feeds.

P.S. Next week, we're having a special Prose Week on the blogs!

A Possible Forensics Prose Piece

Submitted by Geist on July 16, 2008 - 23:05.

(Alright. Intro time.

Well, there's this thing.

This thing is a gathering of artistic kids who enjoy reciting pre-written poetry and prose, performing memorized drama pieces alone and/or with a partner, debating, making radio shows, and extemp-ing(Hint: extemp is hardcore. Like, solid titanium-core).

They all have mighty fun at this... thing.

As do I.

This thing is called Forensics.

No, not CSI, cut-people-open, odd-white-blot-stained-clothing forensics.

This is the good forensics, which is also known as competitive speech.
