And to get all analytical, I admire the skill of telling a story out loud, whether it's a reading (which I can do) or making it up off the top of your head (which I can't), and I get the feeling you like doing it, too. Hey, it's more practice, like how the Sirenia stories have helped you write more.
Doesn't this all sound better and better? You can do it! You can do it!

OK, I'll stop before this get horrible.
I don't seem to listen to podcasts, or take much advantage of online publications that can be heard as well as read; although I will say that I am more tempted by readings of yours.
I don't know what you're considering using for recording, perhaps just the iMac's built in mic. But, if you choose an outside option, I'll recommend the Blue Snowball Mic, as it's cheap and I've used it both for spoken word, as well as recording my band, and it works wonderfully, with only a few strange bugs that I could help you fix should you ever consider it.

Gods, they're gorgeous. Define cheap. I couldn't find anything on the website about pricing.
Sweetwater has them for $99. Which is actually a bit cheaper than I paid for mine. And I have to say, they do work very well, especially for just voice work.
(Sorry I haven't been more active in your lj lately, Mistress Science has me on a pretty short leash).
