Presenting an Updated PennSound Daily Archive

Isn't it amazing how time flies? Certainly, in the midst of this holiday season, most of us are feeling that swift passage of time for many different reasons, both happy and doleful. Today, in particular, we're thinking about PennSound Daily, which has come a long way since the first brief note posted on October 17, 2007. We estimate that there have been well over 2,000 entries in that time, but until now its archives been a little difficult to access, due largely to the technical issues that led to its hiatus over a span of months in 2017–2018.

That changes today with the introduction of a revamped PennSound Daily archive that assimilates our earlier month-by-month pages within the site for 2007 through 2017 entries with brand new links to monthly archives from 2018 forward hosted through Blogger, which is how we've generated new posts over the last five years. These newer pages also allow readers access to a brief but helpful set of tags (including PoemTalk, In Memoriam, and PennSound Cinema). 

This is but a stopgap measure, yet one that we wanted to make sure our listeners knew about. Stay tuned for a more thorough integration of both sets of archives and more tools to facilitate exploration in 2024 and beyond. If you told me in 2007 that I was going to write more than 2,000 of these things, I'd have probably stepped in front of the 42 bus, but on the other side of that process, it's quite lovely to look back at that body of work, which is still one of our primary ways of connecting with our listenership. Take a stroll through our newly revamped PennSound Daily archive today, and witness the site's evolution in a microcosm.
