July 4th is just around the corner. And if you are driving for any length of time I highly recommend heading over to Learn Out Loud and downloading their free Founding Documents of the United States of America. That way on your way to campgrounds, picnics, family reunions, firework shows and all of the other wonderful activites of the 4th, you can listen to some of the history of that independence we are celebrating.
The documents contained in this set include: Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" Speech, The United States Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation, The Virginia Plan, The Constitution of the United States, Federalist Paper No. 51, United States Bill of Rights, Subsequent U.S. Constitutional Ammendments, and First Inaugural Address of President George Washington.
This free download is only available through the 4th of July, so don't wait to get your copy!
Happy Listening!

Entertain Kids With Free Audio Just For Them
I have a sick kid at home today. Which is just wrong. Kids aren't supposed to spend their summer vacation sick!
Regardless, he is pretty miserable. Mostly he wants to just watch TV but I've checked out some audio books for kids in case he begins looking for some other type of entertainment.
Kiddie Records has been collecting children's records from the mid-40's and early 50's and making sure they don't get lost forever. These are children's stories that were recorded, often as major Hollywood productions, and put on the medium of the time - vinyl. They were very popular, but now are almost completely forgotten. You can get them as free downloads now, along with all the original artwork. And if you don't want to download them all you can get CD's mailed to you for a pretty low price. Not a bad deal if you are pressed for time or disc space.
Robert Munsch is a favorite children's author who has generously made audio recordings of his books available for free at his website. If you have his books at home, now you can get audio versions for the kids to listen along with whenever they want. Even if you don't have his books, you can get the audio and listen to his wonderful stories. Thanks Robert.
I need to go check on my son so that is all for now.

Laughter is the Best Medicine
It has been one of those days... And I have decided that it is time to unplug from the computer and unwind with a humorous audio book. First I headed over to AudioBooks.net, a new site for free audio books that I recently found. If you sign up for a free account, you can download up to two free audio books per day. Not a bad deal. They have a nice mix of contemporary and classic works, some which you can find at other sites and some you can't, and a wide range of genres to search in. Unfortunately for me I didn't find anything under comedy that interested me today.
So then I headed over to PodioBooks, as I figured this would be my next best bet for something humorous. Sure enough. So now I am going to sit back and give "Fiddle and Burn" by Jason Pomerantz a try at tickling my funny bone, or at least putting me in a better frame of mind.
I sincerely hope your day has been better than mine, although it is starting to look up now.

If You Haven't Got Your Health...
You haven't got anything! Now you can get a free audio book geared toward attaining perfect (or at least more perfect) health.
Jon Barron wrote the book "Lessons From the Miracle Doctors" and then provided a free ebook form online. In it he talks about what to do to achieve optimal health, why some of the "miracle" supplements work for some and not others, and what to look for in supplements - all without promoting any specific brand of supplements. You can get the ebook here.
He has also provided a free audio series called "Take Back Your Health" that parallels many of the chapters in his book. You can find them here. You will also find more free audio at the site in the form of Jon's radio show archives.

War of the Worlds
Yesterday I showed you were you could find old time radio programs to listen to for free. Most of them were radio serial shows.
So what about the individual programs? You now the ones that were kind of like movies, only without the pictures...
The finest radio drama program of the time (1930's) was Mercury Theatre on the Air. And their most famous production was War of the Worlds. You know, the one that caused mass panic and had people believing that we were being attacked by aliens.
Now you can listen to the original broadcast for free and find out what all the fuss was about. You can find War of the Worlds and many other radio dramas, such as The Count of Monte Cristo, Dracula, Treasure Island, The Immortal Sherlock Holmes, Around the World in 80 Days and many more at TheMercuryTheatre.

Free Old Time Radio Shows
Once upon a time, audio was king. People from all over would listen to radio broadcasts. And they weren't just listening to music. Radio programs would tell stories and there were audio plays, audio soap operas, audio adventures and audio children's stories. Some programs were one time events and the whole story would be told. Others were serialized and a little of the story would be told each time the program aired. These radio programs were very popular and whole families would sit around the radio to listen.
Then along came the TV and it replaced the radio. Stories were still told, only there were video pictures to go along with them. And today you can find the same types of programs to watch on your TV that folks used to listen to on the radio.
Fortunately some of these radio programs have been saved from extinction. And now you can listen to them again. RadioLovers is just one site that has collected many of the radio programs and you can listen to them online or download them for free.
These are great to take along on long car rides to keep the whole family entertained. They are also a way of getting some entertainment while doing something monotonous like housework or exercising. You don't always have to be listening to those self-improvement titles, you know :)
