Common Sense Audio for Free
I’ve been enjoying the FreeAudio.org recording of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. Art Pollard has a rich, clear voice, and delivers a solid, listenable performance of the text. If you’re auditory learner, rather than a visual one, you may really appreciate what Mr. Pollard has donated to the commons.
If you don’t think you want to listen to the whole two hours at once, you can download the whole book in 3-minute chunks, perfect for putting a few pages at a time on a playlist.
There are a few other recordings on the site, as well: The Law, and African Slavery in America — also by Thomas Paine — and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, by Frederick Douglass.














I tried downloading Common Sense Audio but was not able to. Is it not available?
