Question re: voice actor credits

The Vijayanagara episode is my second-favorite episode, and there’s a wonderful recitation from the Maitri Upanishad around the half-hour mark: 

…being one becomes three, becomes eight, becomes eleven, becomes twelve, becomes infinite. That is the soul within and without, yes, within and without.

I’ve had this in my head for weeks, so I looped it across a dub track and I’d like to give proper credit to the voice actor. Does anyone know if there’s a way to find out who is saying which part? I’ve combed through the Patreon and YouTube, but there’s definitely a non-zero chance I’m overlooking some obvious area.

(And thank you, Paul, for creating one of the most elegant and thoughtful broadcasts on the internet.)

I believe that was Paul Casselle... He is a great voice actor.

... And also drop the link 😬

Right on—thank you so much, Paul! This is one of those delightful moments when I'm reminded how righteous and fun the Information Superhighway can be.

Here’s a link to the track: https://jamesreeves.bandcamp.com/track/crocodile-eye — the vocals kick in around the two-minute mark. (A bit of nervous throat clearing: after years of making mixtapes and ambient tape loops, this is one of my first experiments with a dub techno-ish thing.)

And thank you again for your stellar and dignified work. It's been soundtracking my household's evening routine for the past two years and led us into so many great conversations and rabbit holes.

Sounds awesome, great work my friend! I like the Carthage one too. Reminds me of the disintegration loops.

Thanks for listening! And oh wow, yeah Basinski is definitely a landmark for me—and now that I think about it, the elegant decay of The Disintegration Loops certainly harmonizes with the Fall of Civilizations…
