You pretty much blew me away there - a little bit faster response time then I normally get for my projects.
I do have the baba interview about podcasting that is mentioned during the course. Though you probablly already listened to it.
Thank you for your detailed and positive responce it was nice to see that my forty hours of furstrated typing was worth some return - honestly i just did because - I was sick of answering the question how do you podcast? witch is not a question I really want to spend time on unless there is real money involved and even then it should be lots of money or lots of passion one or the other.
You did the course - so you get the reward if you want to talk about your project I owe you 20 minutes... .
For those of you who are spying on these discussion in the weeks and months to come go to http://www.ericwolf.org/resources.html
to sign up for the free email course on podcasting.
By the way John I have been working on a course on storytelling - but I have had a bad case of writers block ont eh subject - but every once in a while I get a few hundred words in I expect to finish my zen of storytelling in 7 simple steps in about seven years - no really next week man - that's a quote from hmmm let's see March of 08 - and I am still plugging away...
Sign up for it - it's listed ont eh resource page and you will get it when ever I finish it.
Peace
Eric

Shorter emails longer crouse shorter course loner emails?
What do you think?
Thanks

You said you are new to storytelling and look for stories to fit certain themes. I would suggest looking at Jackie Baldwin's site, www.story-lovers.com. Jackie is a gem and has been collecting and categorizing our story suggestions (those of us who belong to the storytell listserv) for years. She offers a google search engine as well so all you have to do is key in your "theme" and a list of story suggestions will appear.
Also, if you have time you can look at my website, www.story-bug.net. Click on the Storytelling Links page and you will find hundreds of hyperlinked story sites, all with a short synopsis to help you decide what link you want to visit first.
I hope this helps you in your new journey.

Buon fortuna!
Doorways to the Soul - Pilgrim Press.
Another great collection with many good practical ideas
"Once Upon a Time - 99 Stories for character building ( not sure about title but the book is GREAT.) She is amazing - Check her out here:

Can you post it as thread in the forum and that way I can answer it and other tellers find it and will add there two cents in over time?
Witch tradition do you practice with?
Nice to see you again!
