# Who
👋Gidday! Call me jevvv (it rhymes with Bev)
📚I have always loved reading, especially old books.
👩🏫I'm so old I know a bunch of stuff you might not.
🥳Neurodivergent in the ADHD and autistic flavours - fun getting lost in the middle of a sentence. Not always a written one.
☕Don't believe me? Then grab a drink, snacks, get comfy and come listen!
# What
I read old fashioned children's books for you, the ones you can't find any more. They're a great alternative to the adrenaline rush of gaming.
No, my readings don't have the polished perfection of audio books. It's more like bedtime stories by an easily distracted Aunt.
You'll get random explanations, interruptions and even plain old mis-readings. Oh, and occasionally some terrible accents.
It all adds up to a bunch of fun, and some lovely story discoveries. We can chat in chapter breaks.
# Where
🌏Near where East meets West on the globe
🌊The Far Side of the World
🥝EnZed
👇That OTHER Land Down Under
✈Oh come on: New Zealand... yes it IS on the map! You just have to look hard to find it 😀
# When
📅Monday, Wednesday, Friday
🕒3pm EnZed time.
💻Don't know when that is? [Schedule](https://www.twitch.tv/jevvvnz/schedule) shows in YOUR time zone.
# Why
We all need a bit of "getting away from it all" - lockdowns were the start.
Old books give us a different world.
Our attitudes and behaviour keep this a safe space for listeners.
Be kind = Be excellent to each other!
# How
You DON'T need fancy gear to stream!
- PC - old low-RAM ex-gamers unit not up to ``proper`` gaming any more
- Mic: Blue Snowball
- Webcam: gifted Logitech StreamCam
- Lighting: Philips UFO LED bulb and LED stick bulb
- Library membership and [Project Gutenberg](https://gutenberg.org)
