Bored with the lack of pictures and conversations, I followed the Semilicio.us link featured on George Siemens’ blog . I typed the Dekita URL to find out which sites had a similar focus or interest. As I perused the list, The Word Detective caught my attention. Curiouser and curiouser, I clicked further and found Evan Morris’ online version of his newspaper column by the same name—a treasure trove for lovers of words and language!
I was attracted by another link on the right, Your Favourite Word, which is another wonderful way to play with vocabulary.
Now, as I went further and explored the possibilities, I remembered the Jabberwock and thought it would be fun to have English speakers from different countries recording L.Carrol’s poem so as to compare the different intonation and pronunciation of words? Listen to this mp3 version recorded in 2003. Would this be too non-sensical?

Do they have memes in the podcastosphere? Maybe you’ve just started one.
