A Few More Booktalks For Your Enjoyment

I mentioned in an earlier post that when I was planning ahead and figuring out which booktalks I was going to record for this podcast, that I wouldn't use any booktalks that I had recorded before.  If you're interested in hearing those booktalks (or if you can't stand waiting to hear just one booktalk per week), then I have some good news for you.

When I was a member of The Chronic Rift podcast, I recorded several episodes devoted to teen summer reading, and I presented booktalks in each of these episodes.  You can click the links below to take a trip down memory lane by listening to these episodes on Mevio.  Note: each of these Mevio links will open up a window that will automatically start playing each episode.

    This was an excellent idea to put up links like this in one easy-to-find place.

    Thank you for posting these links. Just to let your listeners know that the first link no longer works and the second one will shortly be useless as well. We are clearing out old episodes of the podcast to make room for our new episodes in The Chronic Rift network. Eventually, these old episodes will be posted in our Chronic Rift Classic feed.
