PODCASTS #21

This exercise took a long time to figure out.









I went to PodcastAlley and entered 'libraries'. A list of 34 sites came up. One of the sites I liked was 'The Library Channel' from Arizona State University.









Then I decided to explore. I entered 'baseball and history' or some similar topic into PodcastAlley. I went to the site's 'Baseball Historian'.









There is a short audio about 'Casey at the Bat'. The title is "Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic".









At the beginning of the audio is a recording from early in the last century. An actor named Wolf (Wilf?) Hopper began reciting 'Casey at the Bat' in 1888. He recited it over 10,000 times.









His recording is very dramatic. He sounds like an actor in a Shakespeare play. He is gasping- almost crying. The recording is at Baseball Historian 120 Casey at the Bat Episode Baseball Historian. http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podshows/4608330 .
