New recordings from Wikimedia Commons publish promptly. Earlier recordings are released in a roughly shuffled order, paced to average about thirty minutes of listening per day. A long recording may therefore be followed by one or more quiet days. Each episode credits its reader and links to the original recording, the article as recorded, and the current article.

Startread by JohnAnkerBow · recorded August 30, 2019 · 0:14:41 · 10.1 MB

Marie Christine is a musical with music, lyrics, and book by Michael John LaChiusa. It opened on Broadway in 1999. While loosely based on the Greek play Medea, it is set in the 1890s, in New Orleans and Chicago, and draws heavily on the biographies of (and the mythology about) a historical mother and daughter, both named Marie Laveau, who were famous practitioners of voodoo.
