VOA Special English Features - Read and Listen Daily, All on one page
Charles Kelly, who has the "many things" ESL page, just announced an update. "VOA Special English Features - Read and Listen Daily" now includes the text and MP3 player for VOA's 2 daily "features."
If you subscribe the the RSS feed in iTunes, you also get the complete "text" in the description tag. This means you can also read the text on your iPod as well, if you access the "description" on your iPod.
I hope you will find this useful.
