Podcast is Live!
If you want to listen to me (as Dylan Calish) hosting "Travels to the UnSeen World"... it is now live: http://entertheunseen.com/travels1/
People have asked me about the name, what's the deal? Well, Dylan is nearly Lyda (just mess up the letters and add a "n"). Plus when Rachel asked me if I wanted to be a sibling to her pen name, I said, "Sure, but I kind of want to be your brother." Clearly on the podcast, I can't pass as a dude, so I picked a gender-neutral(-ish) name.
We had a lot of fun with the podcast. If you give it a listen, you'll see that it's still a bit rough around the edges, but I'm quite pleased, despite all that. Particularly since, before a few days ago, I'd hardly used Audacity at _all_. I'm looking forward to doing more of these. I already put together a quick one that's meant as a language supplement episode for Halloween. Our professor reads a much larger passage in the phonetic Cuneiform and I added part of our interview with her where we discus language and gender and gender and power, the effect diminutives (like -ess on princ-ess) has on the perceived power of women. We also joked about early language as advertisements for beer (which was, of course, invented in ancient Sumer.)
My friend empty_mirrors reminded me that I should probably add a link or write a blog post soon about Inanna, since not everyone is familiar with her story. The cool thing is that we got our professor to tell us the most famous Inanna story--of her journey to the underworld--on 'tape,' as it were. So Rachel and I are talking about having a "Velveteen Demon Bedtime Stories" podcast too.
Because, damn. I just discovered audio.
Imma record EVERYTHING.
