This is the first experiment in podcasting. It's rough, but not a bad first attempt if I do say so myself, and I do. I still need to understand more about mixing, recording, and files, but not bad.
In thin attempt I am reading Peter S. Beagle's story 
The Stickball Witch 
from the collection We Never Talk About My Brother. 
For those of you unfamiliar with his name this is the man who brought us The Last Unicorn and many other wonderful works. 
I do not have a Bronx accent my family ranging all over Long Island mostly, but I did let my mild New York accent hang out a bit in the story trying to sound like my friend's cousin from across the street where I grew up who sounded Bronxish.
This is in the foreword to the story in the book:
Everything in this story is as real and true of my 1940's/1950's Bronx childhood as I can remember it. One of my two closest childhood friends has already assured his grown kids that it happened exactly as recounted; and the other one would cheerfully swear the same, if properly remunerated.
This was written to be read aloud as the first of four season-themed podcasts for a delightful online magazine called The Green Man Review. It was my nod to Spring, and appears here in print for the first time.

Enjoy!
