Archived Audio Recordings
Readings, lectures and classes recorded in and around Washington, D.C., 2005 to 2012: 21 events, 185 tracks, about 31 hours. Recorded on whatever was in a pocket at the time — an iPod, a Sony Clié, a Canon PowerShot in sound-recorder mode, later a Zoom H2 — so the sound is what it is.
