In celebration of the commencement of plans to publish my biography of FCD Wyneken with the help of the Concordia Historical Institute, I am releasing an audio version of a presentation I prepared four years ago, covering the main points of my research as it stood then.  While I would change a few things today and add a lot more, it will hopefully serve to peak your interest in this topic before the book comes out.
