Audio Podcast - Still Working Out the Bugs (but here is a link)

I have prepared a podcast about ACT's production of "A Clean House" but am having some trouble working with Audacity and the other programs. I have uploaded a WAV file to archive.org and the link to that file is as follows:

The WAVE File works, not sure why the rest does not.

For now this is the best I can do, but I will figure out the embedding thing as soon as possible.

My script for the piece is as follows, but don't peek before you listen!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have been walking around the campus of TCNJ the past few weeks, you’ve probably noticed some new additions to the landscaping near the Social Sciences Building and Green Hall. No, I’m not talking about the newly created steam vent ditches, although they do add character to our already beautiful campus, but I am actually referring to the large “Clean House” boxes right next to those ditches.

I have seen many people walk up to these 8 by 8 cubes and scratch their heads, thinking, “why is there a large white box that says “Clean House” on it in the middle of campus”. Well, the reason is that All College Theatre, or ACT for short, is putting on their spring show called – wait for it... “A Clean House.”

“A Clean House” is a dark comedic play written by Sarah Ruhl and directed by Janet Quarterone who, incidentally, directed Tartuffe, ACT’s show from the Fall of 2006. The show runs from Tuesday, April 8th through Saturday, April 12th at 8:00 in the Kendall Hall Don Evans Studio Theater, on the campus of The College of New Jersey. Admission is 4 dollars for students and 6 dollars for general admission.

The best part about going to see the show, besides the fact that it is a cheap and decidedly impressive date, is that if you go to the college, you probably know someone who has been involved in the production. Students do everything for the show, from designing the sets, through night of show organization. What these students do is truly remarkable.

I hope you all can come out and sup All College Theater in their production of “A Clean House” and tell your friends about what those strange white cubes on campus really are!
