The first episode of Uncontrolled Vocabulary is now available. Here’s a direct link to the mp3 recording. You can also listen to the show via the TalkShoe player embedded in the sidebar on this blog.

I have just finished listening to the first episode and really enjoyed it. I liked the format a lot, how you picked up some current news events (or things that *would be* news events for librarians if we had our own news channel). I wonder if there would be enough interest to do a similar show here in Canada? Anyway, I will keep that under my hat and keep listening.
It was great to hear the voices of all you great people whom I follow in text!
Great job, Greg!!
Cheers,
Connie

Hi Greg (and all Uncontrolled Vocabulary #1 participants)
I’m glad you touched on my experience with Council and especially the Improve ALA Wiki .
While the speaking to Council process and the timeline of the experience was a bit garbled, I appreciate the points about why there is parliamentary process.
In retrospect, as mentioned in the comments on my post , I probably *should have* asked Heidi to just read my comments on the discussion at hand into the mic for me.
Fun UV program and great discussion.
