    You're back! I don't know if you know this, but you were missed.

    I like your work, I'd like to see more of the Psalms from the Septuagint. Have you ever thought about volunteering for Librivox, reading public domain audiobooks?

      Thank you for your kind words. The idea that you suggest is a lovely one; my only concern might be that the style of reading which I am cultivating may seem a little jarring or confusing to people in the conventional audiobook context, since I deliver information somewhere between one third and one half as slowly as the speed of most audiobooks. Part of my motivation for appearing on camera is actually merely to make it immediately apparent that the practice is intentional.
