List of audio files recorded (number of minutes) by Philippe Boucher for Voice of Bainbridge from March 31 to October 6, 2004
This is a chronological log. Most but not all of the recordings have been posted on the site.
Sometimes the person agreed with the recording but decided not to post it online (mostly because he/she wanted to make sure of the quality of the sound in the case of musicians and story tellers).
March 31: Story telling at the library
The Bainbridge Island Library organizes regular story telling sessions for the young and the still young at heart.
This is the first session I recorded.
The recording device was placed on the floor in front of the first row of kids so you’ll hear their laughs and also some interference but I think this is part of the atmosphere of live sessions. I did not separate the 2 or 3 first stories and I did not get –yet- on this page the names of the tellers. This will be corrected as soon as possible.

List of recordings made for Globalink Radio.
Globalink is the electronic network of the International Union Against Cancer.
When I discovered the digital audio technology I convinced Globalink to test this new communication tool.
I produced for them a series of interviews for the World No-Tobacco Day,
May 31st 2004
.
They are phone interviews.
They come in two formats: a “long” 10 min version and a short 2 min segment because I thought it would be useful to offer two different versions.
The theme of the World No-Tobacco Day 2004 was Tobacco and poverty.
Each interview dealt with this issue focusing on one continent.
