As a young man, while I am not interested in the story (Not wise enough yet LOL), I am interested in just how awesome it is that you're online sharing this information to people. It may seem trivial, but this form of content is exactly what the world needs more of. Thank you.
Thank you very much for the encouragement. My great great grand children may want to know how I did stuff and I'll be long dead by then. But hey, youtube is there!!!
I listened to your Oz audiobooks the past few months. Really got me through my job. Your voice is made for storytelling and im super grateful for your readings. Now im a super fan of the Oz books thanks to em hahaha. Lookin forward to when The Gnome King of Oz comes out! Glad to find this channel too! Someday i eventually wanna make a lil indie animated adaptation of the Oz books. You would 100% be my first pick to voice the wizard himself.
The rags collected in England were often made into "Shoddy", a term people use today to refer to poorly made items "Oh, that's shoddy workmanship". When researching the American Civil War, I came across a story about troops issued with uniforms made with Shoddy that disintegrated in heavy rain leaving the troops naked. The process used to make shoddy involved pulling apart (usually woolen) rags and mixing in non reclaimed wool thus creating a very weak fabric. Sorry if this is well known in America but here in UK the origin of rag wool/shoddy isn't well known. 🏴
Phil, this is author Alex Ruiz,I emailed you last year in the hopes that you could record an audio book of my novella “prince elko of ail” it is inspired by the oz books in a similar style. I still would truly love for you to record it and I believe your the best voice for it. As I wrote this story your voice was imagined as all the oz books that inspired mine had your voice. Please let me know if your interested or even if you aren’t interested a clarifying response would mean a lot!
@@AlexJtheauthor I"m not sure. Make a google doc and send me the link. I will figure out how to make a shared drive called AlexJtheauthor for just you and me.
