I am checking websites for inexpensive music and bumpers. Clint referred me to a couple of sites that I think may be fruitful. I hope to have the music part of this project completed by the end of the week and have my first episode of Story Time "in the can" by early November.

Clint (my engineer) and I recorded a chapter of Quo Vadis but with all of the engineering involved it took two and a half hours to get it "in the can". Two-and-a-half hours a week is outside my budget and at one chapter per week it would take over a year to finish recording the whole book. I've come up with another idea. Read short stories instead. It would take less time and I think I can come up with enough antiquarian titles to make the show viable. The other thing I am going to do is buy some royalty-free music for a theme and for bumpers. Clint thinks we should limit the show to 30 minutes. I wanted to go an hour. I think maybe Clint is right. It would keep the costs down and might better keep my listeners interest. I hope to get started on the new format sometime this month.
