No, that’s not a typo in the title and yes, Michael P is at it again. This time he supplies us with another Librivox public domain title, The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner written all the way back in 1719. I’m assuming this original version by Daniel Defoe is [...]
The issue of Net Neutrality hasn’t gone away. It concerns me as a consumer of information over the internet and as a distributor of information over the internet, thought I haven’t been looking at the latter angle very much in all honesty. Mark Jeffrey, author of The Pocket and the Pendant podiobook and person with [...]
I did a search on Wikipedia today (installed some new software and it came with a built-in Wiki search) and noticed that the link with 100% relevance to “podiobook” was a link to a “this page does not yet exist in Wikipedia” note. Seems ironic that the most relevant is something which doesn’t exist, but [...]
One of your fellow podiobook authors, Mark Jeffrey of The Pocket and the Pendant, as a new video up on Google Video (or is it GooTube now?) that explains his new project, PopCurrent, and how independent media producers (that’s you people) can use his site to help promote their work.

Hats off to all the volunteers who are working hard to expand their offerings. And special kudos to [...]
I’m happy to announce that the final chapter of Singularity by Bill DeSmedt will be loaded to the site tonight. I enjoyed reading this book two years ago and have enjoyed listening to Bill narrate his story just as much — if not better. For those interested, Bill will be collecting listener/reader questions and then [...]
Billie Pagliolo has her second free audio book now available on Podiobooks.com, this time a collection of essays and short stories called Live, From Milwaukee, It’s Tuesday Night: “Live, From Milwaukee, It’s Tuesday Night,” is an eclectic collection of essays and short stories, some of them humorous, some of the not; none written in Milwaukee, [...]
Never let it be said that creating a podiobook is not a learning experience. Almost a year ago, Stacey Cochran started working on the podiobook version of his young adult novel, Amber Page and the Legend of the Coral stone. He ran into some recording problems, production problems and just “problems” in general. Enter Michael [...]
Update: Help spread this around the blogosphere by Digging it! (Thanks to Ray for the ad.) On October 18th, with very little fanfare, a major freaking milestone was achieved. It was on or about that time that we delivered over ONE MILLION podcast downloads. Quite the accomplishment in just over a year, I think. A [...]
