  • Random News from Clown World (Audio)

    This is the audio version of my Random News from Clown World article.

    Note: the audio differs fairly significantly from the written version. I read some portions verbatim, but overall I try to adapt my presentation to the format. Much of what works well in written form does not work so well in audio, and vice versa. Accordingly, when recording audio, I will sometimes paraphrase what I read and riff parenthetically in order (hopefully) to make it more engaging.
