I have got to get a better publicist. Or maybe actually get a publicist for Podiobooks.com. A great story ran on the NYT about Librivox, an excellent site where volunteers read works from the public domain. We currently have one of their titles (Anne of Green Gables) listed on Podiobooks.com and soon will have many [...]
A few days ago, I noticed a blog post by Tim Peoples on the subject of the next steps of publishing his recently-finished-first-draft-of novel. (Yes, I have extensive ego filters set up on the term “podiobook”.) He expressed some concerns about publishing right away, and I seconded the argument in a comment to the post. [...]
Seth Harwood was a fan of what Scott Sigler did, and decided to take the plunge into making his own podiobook. Check out our latest title, Jack Wakes Up: What does a movie-star one-hit-wonder and ex-drug-addict do when he’s cleaned up, down on his luck, and running out of money? In the three years since [...]

Get ready for the first season of The Red Panda Adventures, an original production by Decoder Ring Theater: From Decoder Ring Theatre’s full-cast audio drama podcasts comes The Red Panda Adventures – Season One.

For most of those, that means you are free to download the audio files and share them with your friends. But you can’t make derivative works and you most certainly can’t [...]
Hats off to Aram Schefrin for completing yet another title. I’ve just uploaded the final chapter of Consider the Elephant, where Aram once again turns conventional wisdom on its head. This historical fiction novel illustrates the life of John Wilke’s booth through the eyes of his brother and Shakespearean actor, Ned. Congrats on finishing not [...]
Originally heard on Geek Fu Action Grip, we are proud to release the complete first season of Heaven by Mur Lafferty: What if Heaven wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be? Friends Kate and Daniel find that after their untimely deaths, Heaven leaves them dissatisfied and itching for something… else. So they’re off, with a [...]
As originally heard on Michael and Evo’s Wingin’ It!, Michael R. Mennenga has packaged up all of his “Michael’s Deep Thought of the Week” segments into a single collection called, appropriately, Deep Thoughts. Though the title may seem like an oxymoron when you consider his description is simply: Short-form Humor from the mind of Michael [...]
Looks like Apple is starting to flex their muscle and working hard to protect their trademarked image/brand name iPod®. They recently sent a nasty letter to the makers of an arcade-game money-tracker broadcaster-thing — of obvious little or no correlation to their product.
