History of Rome Legacy Project- Volunteer Needed (I)

History of Rome Legacy Project- Volunteer Needed (I) Volunteer(s) Found!

Update: Think we've got this one squared away. Will need more volunteers in the future though. Stay tuned...

Unable to leave well enough alone I have begun work on a project to secure the legacy of The History of Rome in perpetuity. It will wind up being years in the making, but I am making it as we speak.

What I need right now is a volunteer from the audience who is a) A proficient Latin speaker B) Able to record audio at home C) Willing to turn around a small project quickly. 

Does this sound like you? Email me with the subject line: I WILL SPEAK SOME LATIN FOR YOU. You'll recieve credit as "Pronunciation Consultant". Neat!

This is awesome to hear, if only I had the drive to learn to speak Latin ~.~

Good luck though!

Hey Mike, I dont know in how far this is usefull but ARD.de (German public radio) has a latin section, which is already broadcasting some programs in latin, that can also be podcasted.
ARD has mighty big radio resources, comparable or even exceeding the BBC's, and they have a latin team in Bremen that probably is aware of your podcast and might be willing to chip in... maybe you should give them a call?? They also do weekly and monthly radio news overviews in latin. Check this:

Good luck!!

PS. According to the ARD.website the only other media-outlets producing similar content are Finnish public radio and Radio Vatican.

Now I'm curios...
In other news, if anyone is interested, I found a podcast that is literally a continuation of THoR. A British guy named Robin Pierson has begun The History of Byzantium and can be found at www.thehistoryofbyzantium.wordpress.com. There are six episodes up so far and Mr. Peirson is doing a wonderful job filling Mr. Duncan's gigantic shoes. One word of caution though, the show is designed with the assumption that the listener has listened to THoR to completion so, if your not done yet, I would suggest doing so before beginning THoB.

Well I can't help you there, but good luck.

Just wondering though, is this the project you spoke of in the last podcast? Because you gave the idea you were doing an whole new show.

[jon]

I can't help personally but will spread the word around the Classics faculty here at Cambridge; I know the podcast is highly regarded by the fellows there and they have recently added it to the recommended reading lists for students.

[robert]

what about the podcast transformed into a book
that you said was going to happen when it was finished...
hope that still happens soon

[Nick]

I have been in touch with friends who are Latin teachers in San Antonio to ask if any of their students might be interested. Good luck!

Hello Mike

I expect you're still floating round on post partum baby love and ravaged by sleep deprivation. Hope that's all going well. Isn't it time for another teasing hint about you next big online project?

I love looking at all these photos of pretty yarn :) I can't wait to see what you knit up with all of this!

[Val in Vancouver]

I love the photos of your supervisor hard at work. Cheers!

[Todd Goldberg]

Would like to see you sell a little booklet including an MP3-CD or DVD containing the entire series. I for one would buy it.

PS I too discovered the "History of Byzantium" podcast to follow, it's good but nowhere near as good as yours.

Good luck!

[Toby K]

If you're aiming for correct Latin pronunciation in the show, don't bother. The correct Latin for Gaius Julius Caesar would be 'Gah-ee-us Yoo-li-us Kai-sar', and no one pronounces it that way, even professors!

Thanks for sharing the blog it is very informative and keep on updating the blog.

Recently I managed to understand what Asian Handicap is and how to bet it. It is a really great tool and I think every football bettor should consider mastering it. It enables you to earn more and lose less in situations where you know well the form of both teams and you have quite good idea what will happen during the game and if you don’t better find good http://bultip.com football predictions

Hi mike, love the show, i listen all day at work. Can't wait for your new project! Keep up the good work.

[Scott Figlioli]

Hi Mike,

I just wanted to thank you for your time and effort. I have not had the good fortune of going to college and taking ancient/Roman history, but it is people like you who enable me to learn nonetheless.

Thanks!
Scott

Discover a area your location comfy. A superb skin image go shopping tattoo shops realizes that its consumers can be a minimal stressed, particularly if the skin image will probably be your first. If a skin icon musician efforts to frighten you as well as to persuade a person in something that you aren't confident with, keep comparing prices. Plenty of wonderful skin icon machine tattoos retailers trust customer care. Try to remember, the skin image is usually permanent, consequently take your time to just remember to can be extremely acquiring your goals.

People who like "The History of Rome" may also like "American Sulla". It's a new novel set in the not-so-distant future that follows loosely the collapse of the Roman Republic.

I've been enjoying it -- an interesting take on one of the most interesting characters in the Republic's fall.

I have been listening to the history of Rome since two weeks now because I just recently discovered it. Are you still working on any podcasting projects?

The history of Rome spans 2800 years of the existence of a city that grew from a small Italian village in the 9th century BC into the centre of a vast civilisation that ...
