The Country Thinker

This is my first effort at an audio pod­cast, and it is an idea that I got from author Scott Sigler. Report­edly he began read­ing his nov­els into a micro­phone while stuffed between jack­ets in a hall­way closet to muf­fle out­side noise inter­fer­ence. I decided to give the idea a try, although I took a pass on record­ing in a closet.

This isn’t intended to be a high tech pro­duc­tion (or a per­fect one, for that mat­ter), and I ‘m hop­ing it comes off a bit nos­tal­gic; think of it as Sun­day story time like the radio days of old. I’m also hop­ing this will pro­vide a way for vision-​​impaired peo­ple to gain access to the story, and per­haps tech-​​savvy folks with iPhones and such can lis­ten while trav­el­ing or stuck in traffic!

I do feel obliged to pass on one dis­claimer, which is that The Eagle Has Crashed is an “R-​​rated” book with pro­fan­ity, descrip­tions of vio­lence, and some mild sex­ual conent. Even though this episode doesn’t con­tain any, I just want to advise lis­ten­ers before­hand, so you don’t get started, and then get taken by sur­prise and offended later.

With all that thrown out on the table, let’s get to the read­ing, and if you like what you hear well enough to want to but a copy, all the pur­chas­ing infor­ma­tion can be found here.
