Listening, telling

I hosted the DC Listening Lounge at our house this evening. A good gathering, as usual. In any case, I mention this for two reasons: One, the website has been revamped so that individual members can upload their own audio. So it's worth visiting site occasionally to see what's up.

Two, some folks in the group are involved with the Place + Memory Project, which seeks to gather memories of places that no longer exist. The end result will be a wiki map on the website, and audio pieces that air on Weekend Edition. To contribute to the audio side of it, you can share a memory of a vanished place by calling 1-888-910-2555 and leaving a voicemail describing it. Nothing polished, just talk about it.
