The Children's Hour -HNM004


This is Jeffrey K. Holbrook.


Welcome to the the audio feed from holbrooknewmedia.com.


I recently started working on a few projects with with J.D. Sutter over at Porchlight Family Media. They have a show called Verses in Vox. They are taking classic works of poetry, and have them performed by a voice actor, then original music is composed, and original photography and artwork is made.

When all is produced and made ready by the 5 or 6 people involved, it is released. You really need to go to verses.porchlightfamilymedia.com to listen to the various amazing productions.


Before getting involved with these projects, I hadn't really gotten much into classic poetry, but I have really been finding a new dimension to these treasures.
Today, with permission, I am presenting "The Children's Hour", in its entirety.

Jeffrey's pick of the week. theaudacitytopodcast.com. Daniel J. Lewis has National Association of Broadcasters Show new product videos.

How great Audacity is as an audio editing program. http://www.audacityteam.org/

Using a live stream for infomercials is wierd.
