Tag Archives: Lectionary Radio

As you may have noticed, I have started publishing Lectionary Radio again. There are a few changes from the last incarnation:

• Instead of reading and commenting on all of the weekly readings, I’ll be selecting just one.
• I’ll spend some time discussing current events surrounding Christianity, liturgy, and scripture.
• The podcast will be hosted on the Library Basement instead of on my other website (which makes it easier for me).
• I’ll only be distributing the audio in MP3 format (sorry Ogg Vorbis fans).

The podcast feed stays the same, so anyone who may still be subscribed should start seeing new episodes in their podcatchers.

Lately I have been failing to publish new episodes of Lectionary Radio in a timely fashion. The bottom line for me is that it takes more time and effort than I am motivated to expend for the project. So I’ll be suspending publishing of the podcast.

During my “Easter fast” I came up with the idea to start a podcast. The idea? I just read the coming Sunday’s assigned lessons and provide a short comment. It does not sound hard, but it did take a good amount of work to put together, particularly in figuring out RSS feeds, and offering MP3 as well as Ogg Vorbis. But I digress . . .

I am pleased to present Lectionary Radio, a weekly podcast featuring the coming Sunday’s scripture readings from the Revised Common Lectionary and discussion of those passages. The show will be published some time in the middle of each week so folks can have some time to listen to it before church on the weekend. I hope to interview guests in the future, but for now it is just me. The show is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-alike license.

The audio quality is a bit questionably due to the first episode being recorded on my Sansa Clip. I’ll see about better options for recording. In the course of editing I found that I say “ummm” a lot and have a rather stilted, Shatner-esque pacing to my impromptu speaking. Consequently I may just prepare a script for future episodes.

Please comment or email with feedback. Thanks!

(Yes, I know it is not Pentecost yet, so I have sorta broken my Easter blogging fast. But at least the first episode of Lectionary Radio has readings for Pentecost!)
