This website has existed since 1995. Most of the audio selections collected here have been on this site for a very long time. Back in the stone ages a 30-second clip could take 24 hours to download! While eventually I hope to bring this page into the twenty-first century with longer (and better quality) clips, for now, well, what I have here are mostly brief “clips” — except for the occasional recent addition. If you can help me provide better audio selections, please contact me<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just created an Audio Library Experiment<\/a> page to figure out how to rework this content. Feel free to check it out. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
