New Podcast On Hunting

Tuesday, May 1, 2012 at 8:59AM

I have just put up the first of what will be a semi-regular series of podcasts. It is a reading of the essay On Hunting, which I published back in January. You can listen to it here. In the coming months I will post a series of new podcasts, combining readings of texts I have published, with discussions of literature and politics with guests.

Once I have worked out what the mysterious "byte-range requests" problem is, you should also be able to subscribe to these podcasts via itunes. Stay tuned...
