Classic Breakdown!

Fréquence : 1 épisode/30j. Total Éps: 37

An audiobook narrator who just can't focus on the job in hand. His digressions take him further and further off-piste. Now including the complete and unabridged The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. And now we're engaged in a tug of war between Chapters of Dracula by Bram Stoker and 1984 by George Orwell.

Dracula Chapter 11 The Wolf Escapes

lundi 7 août 2023 • Durée 35:19

So here is another portion of Dracula read with a singular lack of preparation or skill. As I say, it’s an acquired taste. Members of my own family don’t listen to it, so let that stand as some sort of warning to you.

It’s recorded not on a wax cylinder but using the less than stellar (Stella!!!!) headset mic by audio technica which purports to have a capsule from the 2020 series. Not so sure that it’s entirely suited to recording long form audio even for a podcast.

The sky outside is actually blue so must get out there and do something even less constructive.

Ciao.

Dracula: Chapter 10 - Vamp till ready.

jeudi 3 août 2023 • Durée 33:11

Why do bats suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Poor old Lucy! Always wanting to leave the windows open and somewhat averse to the garlic baguette that Van Helsing brandishes before her pallid fizzog. She’s arguably, in the words of 1950s magistrates, asking for it, fang-wise. But she’s certainly a fighter and submits to her arduous toilet twice daily, administered by her maid, whose name, of course, is never revealed.

Bram Stoker purists will be relieved to know that Banana Nesquik does not get a mention this week. But just like supermarket home delivery there’s always a disappointing ‘substitution’ in the shape of a Melton Mowbray mini.

I hope this week’s episode will spawn many comments be they harsh or otherwise.

Thanks for listening.

And remember, try to grow your own garlic for wreaths and garlands, as importing them from Holland will make the maps go redder.

Chapter 10: A tentative purchase!

samedi 29 juillet 2023 • Durée 24:17

Once again we return to the land of Bram Stoker.

I was tinkering with the Audio Technica headset mic., as if you wanted to know that and then was playing with the Studio One software which is less than user friendly imo. Trying to make a stack or plugin chain that tamed the whole thing. It’s noisy and a bit echoey, and NOT my usual studio or equipment. Time to go back to the functional idiot-proofery of Twisted Wave and Reaper, possibly the Beyerdynamic 201 of the previous episode.

But of Dracula I can say nothing more. Some people have asked that I persist - and sometimes I am filled with enthusiasm. Today, as you might guess, not so much.

Still, off to lunch in an excellent hostelry shortly in good company. Will there be beer? Yes, there will and perhaps the rosbif of olde England.

If you were looking for a funner and contemporary novel that’s heaps better than Dracula have a look on my YouTube channel for the four part recording of The Beetle. The first two chapters are beautifully written.

Best wishes,

Greg

The Valentine's Day Massacre of Chapter 8 (into 9) Dracula

mercredi 15 février 2023 • Durée 32:39

Well, look: I was in a comfy chair and that's perhaps why this episode is a little lacklustre. There is literally nothing to recommend it. Perhaps making Seward a bit more estuary is enjoyable for me, but makes little sense. You can't really imagine the Westenras having him over to shoot or hunt, but who knows? Lucy does sound like she plays the field a bit in terms of suitors - or did, at any rate before the big bite.

I afraid I got the stomach rumbles during this episode. I've excised some of them with brutal imprecision.

It's a long book. But we seem to be picking up a few more listeners - like a cart during the Black Death. Pushing up towards 3 figures now! Let's hope we can smash that lofty barrier before the aliens invade good and proper.

Dracula Chapter 7 into Chapter 8.

mardi 7 février 2023 • Durée 47:33

Greetings All. We continue in our halting attempt to drag ourselves through Bram Stoker's classic work and we've got to the section where Lucy Westenra is getting a little bit anaemic. Who knows why? And Wilhelmina Murray berates herself for using a big safety pin near Lucy's neck. Safety pins can be dangerous!

So, we press on! And as Spring ushers itself in we hope to do another episode before the first daffodils are up.

Chapter 7 Part 2 The Captain's Log and Sundry Other Stuff

mardi 10 janvier 2023 • Durée 31:16

We're on the high seas on board the ill omened Demeter. There are some funny boxes below decks with some rather innocent contents (according to Turkish Customs) and lots of disappearances at night. The crew is made up of Russians and Roumanians.

The Captain has lashed himself to Tenille and there's something a bit rum about the rum.

Recorded with the Rode NT-USB Mini and then some poorly executed mastering.

Please leave a note - like the Captain.

Dracula by Bram Stoker Chapter 7

lundi 2 janvier 2023 • Durée 35:41

Well, Happy New Year 2023! Apparently and this is according to the stats, (so we're all fully on board with their likely veracity, aren't we?), I am now followed by a dozen regular listeners. Fair dinkum. I didn't get into this podcast game for popularity: I was only ever motivated by narcissism. However, we push on because of reasons. I don't like to quit halfway through a project - and that includes life - and I know that will disappoint many Canadian 'liberals' out there.

Dracula is an interesting tale of gathering darkness and has some resonances today. If you haven't observed this phenomenon you probably work for the government or sell and distribute weapons of mass destruction (a wide variety is available).

Chapter 7 recounts the slightly dramatic arrival of the Demeter at Whitby Harbour and the successful keto diet undertaken by the crew. There's a big dog too.

This travesty was recorded using a Rode USB Mini microphone in the middle of a room. Then some declick and Thomas Mundt Loudness.

Dracula by Bram Stoker Chapter 6 C Mina Murray's bit

mardi 31 mai 2022 • Durée 14:31

Perhaps Mina is the one who is the stranger at the Westenras and is waiting for news from Jonathan Harker? Her chum Lucy is sleep-walking again which is probably not the best problem to have at this time. She bumps into the tedious old bloke up at the Abbey once again and chats about this and that, especially the morbid humour of said bloke. He apologises - almost. Out at sea there's a storm brewing and the coastguard chap who turns up opportunely has spotted a Russian ship bobbing up and down like nobody's business. Who's at the tiller?

Nice steak!
