Steven Stewart
Listen as I read the internet in my Scottish brogue.

Album Lyrics. Cat Stories. Weather reports. Anything I can find I'll read. I also take your suggestions.

Holiday Jokes
Episode 15 of the Do You Comma Here Often Podcast.
Listen as I read a selection of Holiday Jokes from the Readers Digest website. All read in my Scottish accent.
The internet is full of "hilarious" jokes and stories. I've once again managed to find a site that is devoid of them. Despite the title of the article.
I don't proof read the article, song lyrics or anything I pick to read before recording. Every episode is recorded in one sitting. No pauses. No edits. If I make a mistake in pronunciation it stays in there. If something makes me laugh it stays in there. If something makes me exasperated it stays in there (this can happen often). If people spell things incorrectly or use incorrect grammar it stays in there.
One day I'll have enough money to buy a decent microphone.
New episodes released every Tuesday (they might take a few extra days to reach your podcast listening platform of choice).
Thanks for listening.
Al Roosten by George Saunders
Episode 14 of the Do You Comma Here Often Podcast.
Listen as I read George Saunders short story, Al Roosten from the Short Stories website. All read in my Scottish accent.
Please be warned that there is some slight homophobic connotations in this story. I just pick things at random to read. No proof reading first.
I don't fully understand George's story but, despite some of my reservations during the recording, I fully commend him for putting it out there. Art is a difficult thing to hand over to others for their consumption.
Recorded in one sitting. No pauses. No edits. If I make a mistake in pronunciation it stays in there. If something makes me laugh it stays in there. If people spell things incorrectly or use incorrect grammar it stays in there.
