To make life easier on folks, we at the University of Nebraska Press blog went through our old podcasts and recast them!  From now on, you just have to press play and listen to these classic podcasts, ranging from authors with surprisingly melodic voices reading from their works to events covering hot topics,  good writing, and photography!  So that you won’t have trouble finding these archived podcasts, we have included—in this post—short descriptions and links below.

 

September, 2006: A talk with author Pamela Joern about her novel —The Floor of the Sky—and writing during the (downtown) Omaha Lit Fest.

September, 2006: Interview with Bob Vivian about writing and his book, The Mover of Bones at the (downtown) Omaha Lit Fest.

October, 2006: Louise Barnett reads from the introduction to her book Touched by Fire: The Life, Death, and Mythic Afterlife of George Armstrong Custer

November, 2006: An Evening on Chuck Hagel — Author Charlyne Berens speaking at a salon for her book Chuck Hagel: Moving Forward

February, 2007: An Evening w/Joel Sartore.  Sartore speaks about photography, life, and the work in Nebraska: Under a Big Red Sky.

April, 2007: Translator of Georg von Trapp’s memoir—To the Last Salute— reads her introduction and an excerpt of the first English edition of the book.  Did I mention that she’s the granddaughter of the famed U-Boat captain/writer?

You’ll still have to download this month’s podcast (there’s a short version and a long version), which I highly recommend.
