Dispatch #4 My regard for The Hobbit

Little by little I'm figuring out how to produce this thing. I need to read slower while maintaining enthusiasm. I smoothed out my cutting of danosongs.com's -vestige-en-antigua a little for the out-tro. Thanks Dan-o for the track. I need to switch to something I know is royalty free for the intro. It's too jarring the way it is but I do like the clip from Willy Wonka. I don't remember where that fanfare came from.
I know it's way late to post something about The Hobbit movie. Most of the people who wanted to see it have. Just as any old guy might do I go off into things the experience made me think of also. Still as a postmortem it works, you can add your observation in the comments.
1/29/13 - After listening to this one again I need a new strategy. Whereas a previous dispatch as too fast, my reading this time a was way too slow and ponderous. I didn't want to spend a bunch of time doing production but at least some practice reads and more energy is doable. I may have to do this one over.
