Penguin To Podcast Dickens: A Christmas Carol

Email This Entry

Posted by Alex Williams

Penguin is planning to podcast the Charles Dickens classic: 'A Christmas Carol.' It's the publisher's first foray into podcasting.

From Revolution:

The Dickens podcast will be in five instalments running on December 15-16 and December 19-21 and read by the actor Geoffrey Palmer, best known for his roles in 'Butterflies', 'As Time Goes by' and 'The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin'.

Like other publishers, the foray into podcasting is sparking ideas for how to use the new medium to promote authors, unpublished works and new authors.

My error -- Penguin started a podcasting effort last month. According to Revolution, they've had 10,000 downloads from about 69 countries.

The Penguin version is lovely, but anyone downloading that might also be interested in the version available at www.storynory.com - our version, I think has the edge for kids, but I'm probably biased.
