This Goodly Land: Alabama's Literary Landscape has just added three new podcasts to our "Multimedia" page. (These podcasts are also available via This Goodly Land at iTunes U.)
In "Old Southwest Humor," Maiben Beard from the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities interviews Dr. Benjamin B. Williams, Professor emeritus of the Auburn University Montgomery Department of English about frontier humor from the 1830s to the 1860s.
In another audio, Dr. Dwayne Cox of the Auburn University Libraries reads an example of Old Southwest humor: an excerpt from Joseph Glover Baldwin's book The Flush Times of Alabama and Mississippi.
Finally, we have prepared an audio version of Dr. John C. Hall's Draughon Seminar on William Bartram and his travels in the South. This audio has been split into three parts to make downloading easier.
Supplemental materials for these programs are available at This Goodly Land's Web site and include audio transcripts, reading lists, discussion questions, and lesson plans.

Video: William Bartram Lecture by Dr. John C. Hall
On March 27, 2008, the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities of the College of Liberal Arts in Auburn University sponsored "Bartram's Travels," a lecture about the explorations of Alabama author William Bartram (profiled on This Goodly Land).
The lecture was given by Dr. John C. Hall as part of the Draughon Seminars in State and Local History. Read more about Dr. Hall and the Draughon Seminars here.
Dr. Hall's lecture was recorded and has been made available online.
