Comments on: Eveline http://www.miettecast.com/2008/06/17/eveline/ Lay yourself down to sleep with the soothing soporific of Miette's purr as she reads you the world's greatest short stories and delivers them podcasterly.

And incrementally I upgraded my setup and learnt a few things, and all was well and I have big cushy headphones and an old-timey microphone that really suits me, and devices with knobs. You know, pro. And while nobody's spot is softer than mine for those shoebox days, if there's a specific story that you'd love to hear but whose sound quality is utterly intolerable... well, let me know which, and I might be persuaded to read it again, just for you. I'd never erase the old, but I'm all for in-with-new. M. Clark... on some of those older ones, you might try to download the mp3 rather than using the FancyPants Inpage Player. And I love St. Julian, and would love to read it, but it's Mighty Mighty Lengthy... you really think you'd be able to listen straight through? xo -- Mtte.

And while nobody’s spot is softer than mine for those shoebox days, if there’s a specific story that you’d love to hear but whose sound quality is utterly intolerable… well, let me know which, and I might be persuaded to read it again, just for you. I’d never erase the old, but I’m all for in-with-new.

Who are you, Miette? I've been listening for hours and I want to know more. You know you’re getting old when the New Yorker stumbles onto the best web sites before you do. Who are you, Miette?

Well it seems I simply had to download this one to get it to play properly. I assure you, I know the difference between lesser audio quality, and something that's really not playing properly for me, though the problem in making it work correctly is clearly my own fault. Hmm.

Clark Thu, 19 Jun 2008 21:00:39 +0000 http://www.miettecast.com/2008/06/17/eveline/#comment-963 Hello, I really enjoy listening to your show. However, I am disappointed that some of the older installments seem to be no longer working. Kate Chopin, for example, is a choppy, high-pitched mess. Also, will you please consider reading the story "The Legend of St. Julian the Hospitaller," by Flaubert? I think you could do it an immense justice. Thank you. Hello,
