Sneak Preview: SpokenWord.org

New finding/sharing service for recordings of *all* spoken-word events. The site will launch in
early December 2008, but we'd love for you to stop by and check out an early alpha-test version.

No site design yet -- it's just pure, clunky functionality.

Please use the service, but be aware that it certainly contains many bugs and that it will be broken or off-line from time-to-time. We are adding new features and fixing bugs on a daily basis. Note, however, that our Privacy Policy is active and will be honored. Passwords are stored with one-way encryption and email addresses are not visible. Given this disclaimer, we hope you'll use this early site and post your feedback to our discussion forum.

Please:
* register and log in,
* submitted programs and/or feeds, and
* post your feedback on our forum.

Help Wanted: Website Editors

A few times each year we have openings on TeamITC -- our staff of part-time writers, producers and audio engineers who bring you The Conversations Network's programs. We've had very little
turnover this year, but with the expansion of our publication schedule, it's time to add to the team.

* Website Editors

If you'd like to put in a few hours each month writing, producing or editing the audio for our programs (and earn a few dollars in the process) here are the details:
