         <title>The Last Lecture: An Interview with Narrator Erik Singer</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="The Last Lecture Audiobook Cover" src="http://blogs.voices.com/voxdaily/the-last-lecture-randy-pausch-jeffrey-zaslow-unabridged-compact-discs-hyperion-audiobooks-erik-singer.jpg" width="335" height="410" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></span>On September 18, 2007, computer science professor <a href="http://www.thelastlecture.com">Randy Pausch</a> stepped in front of an audience of 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University to deliver a last lecture called "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." With slides of his CT scans beaming out to the audience, Randy told his audience about the cancer that is devouring his pancreas and that will claim his life in a matter of months. On the stage that day, Randy was youthful, energetic, handsome, often cheerfully, darkly funny. He seemed invincible. But this was a brief moment, as he himself acknowledged.</p>

<p>Randy's lecture has become a phenomenon, as has the book he wrote based on the same principles, celebrating the dreams we all strive to make realities. Sadly, Randy lost his battle to pancreatic cancer on July 25th, 2008, but his legacy will continue to inspire us all, for generations to come. </p>

<p>Narrator Erik Singer shares moving insight into his oratory, giving another voice to Randy Pausch's inspiring, informative and touching book, "The Last Lecture", winner of the 2009 Audie for Biography / Memoir.</p>]]></description>
