I happen to agree with this. On one hand it would be great to see UWN in audio
form, however, to
do it justice, the work required every week, or even every two weeks is great,
in terms of
recording, proofing, and audio editing. You would also have to be sure that the
quality of
reading is good enough for all listeners to understand, and ensure consistancy
between issues of
the news letter, in terms of headings, URLs, etc.
Added to that, there is having to consider those people who are not English
speakers. Are you
really going to find people willing to record something every 1 or two weeks,
who speak other
languages? There is once again, the issues I outlined above.
By all means, if you wish to go ahead and do so, do it. What I've said above is
my opinion only,
and nobody is going to try and stop you from doing it. However, having had
experience with audio
production of such material, I know the time required is very demanding, if you
want something
that is good enough for people to regularly download and listen to it.
