Goblin Market Episode Twenty
jenny | Apr 11, 2010 | Comments 5
Greetings everyone. Goblin Market episode twenty is here, and it’s amazing to me how much you learn over the course of podcasting a novel. For instance, it took me twenty episodes to figure out how to better my sound quality so it’s not hissing and crackling. Not that I hadn’t tried in the past. Don’t get me wrong. I experimented with a lot of things to try and get it right, but by George Gordon Lord Byron, this morning I think I did much better.
I am also starting the re-recording process for the first seven episodes so I can submit and upload to podiobooks. Both looking forward to and dreading the process, but anticipating the opportunity to reach more listeners and expand my audience. Wish me luck and kick my butt if I don’t report details over the next couple weeks. I will also be cleaning up the manuscript and reformatting it to sell on Amazon and Smashwords for anyone who would like to download the whole novel to their computer or eReader.
In reflection, as I was looking over the last pages of the manuscript, I realized there are about four to five episodes left before the novel is done. Holy crow. I can’t believe we made it this far. Well, I can, but you know… it’s a major achievement and there were a lot of bumps and dips along the way. I’ll celebrate once the final episode is in the can, but for now, I hope you’ll join me in the Goblin Market once again.
As always, the music in this episode has been provided by Kevin Macleod and incompetech.com, and don’t forget to stick around at the end of the episode for promos for Craig Robertson’s Anon Time and Superficial Gallery’s Things I Can Say in Under a Minute.

I think that this is the best Goblin Market of all time!
I guess mine is also the best comment of all time. Suckers.
I’ve listenned to 4 episodes, very nice. Your idea of re-recording they is an excellent one, and there are a few editing issues in the writing, but overall, really wonderful job. I figured out why I was having trouble w/itunes download last week. If I download “Inner Bean”, just the GM episodes download, and there’s no problem. Earlier, I was downloading a different file from itunes, I forget to title, but it had a mixture of GM episodes and your past podcasts (?) or some other content. Only half those drops downloaded, and the other half had “!” next to them. Hope that makes sense….
Hi Craig. Thanks for checking it out. Yes, the old feed is still on iTunes, and needs to be deleted. The novel itself definitely needs a good coat of polish after podcasting. It was written over six years ago, and while recording it, I found a lot of little things that needed to be smoothed out. Once I’m done podcasting and re-recording, I am planning to do some edits and put it out in print as an eBook. I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
I actually use the podcast narration to edit. As I speak, and read odd sounding things or miss spells, I read ink them, read them the new way, then correct the text document when I’m finished. So after I’m done narrating, I have a pretty clean text, which I put in Smashword format and ship off to Mark Coker. Bryan Lincoln and Abbie Hilton are just starting a podcast about full cast podcasting, but a lot of what they say applies to solo reads too: fullcastpodcast.com
