According to Open Culture, this is supposed to be a recording of Walt Whitman reciting his poem, “America”. Real or fake? You decide.

Recently, I have become very impressed with Open Culture.   It is a website consisting mainly of a lot of downloadable material such as e-books and podcasts.   In fact the sheer amount of stuff is staggering and I am still working my way through it.   It has made me realise how much free quality stuff there is to download for the iPod / MP3 player if you know where to look for it.   The other day, I downloaded for free old Beethoven symphonies from Danish radio.   This must have been recorded back in the 1970’s (and the sound quality showed it) but Open Culture dutifully provided the iTunes and MP3 links.

This is definately a website to watch on a regular basis and definately one to visit if you like to download podcasts.
