BBC radio Book of the Week: Arguably by Hitchens

Go here, click on a pink/black "Listen now" button and enjoy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qftk

If I have understood the web page correctly:
-seven audio chapters have been / will be posted
-none will be on-line for longer than a week
-the first part will be available until 18th October

I have managed to open all now available chapters (three). The reader sounds like Hitchens, but I am not sure. The voice is strangely strong considering his illness - maybe earlier recordings?

A bit about the book here: http://www.dailyhitchens.com/2011/08/ar ... chens.html
An early review here: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-enter ... 59192.html
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

"...anyone who says it’s “just the Internet” can :pawiz: . And then when they come back, they can :pawiz: again." - Tigger
