You're on YouTube!

In March, about a half dozen members of the club met for a taped reading. Tom and Jim did the taping  and Tom uploaded the podcasts onto a YouTube channel he created for the club. 


This was a test run and we'd like to do more podcasts, perhaps in collaboration with the Oshkosh Poetry Club and/or other members of the public.


For a demonstration, Dixie's piece is here. Click on the side menu for other members' pieces.
