Three Kinds of Free

Three Kinds of Free

 

Free - Wasted Time 

With the very best of intentions there are LOADS of poor quality downloads

 

Free - With obligations

There are several very well known audio book download companies who use

great quality "free" books to draw you in to buying many more virtual books

 

Free - For the Love of it!

Rarely you find someone who is prepared to put some work in a dig deep to find the golden nuggets there are are out there.

 

You will have already tripped over yourself trying to avoid the first 2 versions so there's no need to waste any more time.

What I have found is pure 100% genius - Great texts performed by some of the best actors in the world!

These are the urls - 

First is a one hour poetry reading session, under the auspices of The British Academy

Organised by Josephine Hart, this sitting of the Josephone Hart Poetry Hour oncluded performances by Charles Dance - Exceptional Classical Film and TV Actor, Kenneth Cranham - Brilliant Film and TV Actor and Elizabeth McGovern - now most famous for her wonderful rendition of Lady Grantham in Downton Abbey.

There are lots of other brilliant works available through the British Academy website.

 

The Second Completely Free

but Great Quality Audio is to be found Here!

 

In addition there are podcasts available from the Selected Shorts and Symphony Space website

https://soundcloud.com/selectedshorts

These podcasts are free and include some brilliant new short stories read by well known American actors both TV and Film.

There are adverts during the podcast but they don't intrude too much.
