The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostoevsky

[Frank Marcopolos]

Friends,

The new story on the website is called, "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (Part 1)." It was written by the great Russian author, Fyodor Dostoevsky. It tells the tale of the corruption of a(n) utopia similar to a pre-fall Earth.

I recorded the tracks for the podcast somewhat differently than I ordinarily do. They were longer in length this time. And when I mixed them down, the file was about double the size it normally is. It usually comes out to be around 1 MB per 1 minute of audio, but for this mixdown it seems to be about 2 to 1. I used the same bit compression ratio and all that as usual. If anyone with some technical expertise can advise me on this matter, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Other than that, things are going really well for me. Studying for my certifications, working, writing, working out (12 pounds lost so far!) Going to bed absolutely EXHAUSTED every night. I hope your life is just as full and rewarding!

Cheers,

Frank

FAQ:

1) What is a Podcast?

A podcast is like a radio program that plays on the Internet. People can also download a podcast to a portable media player (such as an iPod or other mp3 player) and listen to it at their convenience. Podcasts can be created by anyone with the right equipment (computer, internet connection, and audio recorder) and uploaded to a server on the Internet.


2) How do Podcasts work?

When you visit a podcast website, such as http://frankmarcopolos.com, you will see what looks like a blog. The difference is, each post also contains a media player. Click play on the player, and the audio begins playing. You can also download the media file to put on your portable media player (such as an iPod), by right-clicking the link and using "Save As..." You can then listen to the podcast at your convenience.
