This is awesome! I found this through Moxie Grumby, and I am delighted about all the Jane Austen fun.
That said, I'm not digging the voice talent they used for Persuasion. I'll see if I can get past it.
I am so glad you found us Meaghan! Welcome to Radio Riel!
I agree with you - some of the Librivox "readers" are better than others, but that is to be expected as Librivox is 100% volunteer.
The benefit to Librivox? They are 100% public domain. :-) It's wonderful having the resource and knowing that the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) can't come after us.
I hope you enjoy the music too!
