Sorry, the last comment was meant for the original poster. I see the original post was removed.
The original post was removed because it was a blatant (and pathetic) plea for blog hits and “subscriptions.”
I’ve not seen it done quite that way before. A bad idea whose time never was.
I think this should be on breaking news, I posted it there as well. I excerpted your article, but forgot to hit the excerpt button!
That audio is dynamite.
