podcast for ATD Re: ATD: marketing, ARCs

[pynchonoid]

If I knew how to do it, and if I had the audio for
Pynchon's The Simpsons appearance, I'd go ahead and
mash up a podcast, have somebody narrate the Book
Description, add P's voice from The Simpsons, and get
it moving through the blogosphere, that's just the
sort of thing a techno-savvy pynchonoid would do.
Alas, no bandwidth - places to go and people to see.
But it's probably not that hard to do with a Mac and
iTunes. The torch is passed....
