Writer, researcher, academic, professor (and Facebook Salon Host extraordinaire) Laleh Khalili has been posting her thoughts and notes as she reads through a wealth of material related to ships, shipping, ports, harbors, and, in this piece, cargo, on her site The Gamming. I encourage everyone to check it out - it is a treasure trove for Khalili's insights as well as the nuggets she fishes from her readings (today is a day for gleeful metaphor-mixing, it seems). 

Evan Fleischer, writer-at-large, reads Part I. Read it for yourself/follow the trail of links here: http://thegamming.org/2014/07/13/the-cargo-cults-of-usa-part-i/

Aino Niskanen – Professor of History of Architecture, Aalto University, Finland

articles aloud is a repository for idiosyncratic, personal recordings of longform articles of interest. as participants grow in number, the range of interests is likely to grow as well. 

to submit your own 'article aloud': please send an email to jessamyklapper [at] gmail [dot] com, containing a clear, finished audio file with a link to the original article [these should be: literary nonfiction, longform journalism, in-depth analysis], along with a short introduction. the introduction should tell us a little bit about the piece and why you chose to read it. 

enjoy, and please be kind regarding the occasional stutter or mispronunciations (corrections are welcome, but will only be incorporated as they arise in later recordings, as this is entirely a volunteer effort & most recordings are done in one take)!
