Talk:2834: Book Podcasts

This one is the most get-out-of-my-mind I have ever experienced with xkcd. And I had quite a few of these :-) I recently had this very same thought, and eventually I managed to find a way to get audiobooks and podcasts just mixed up in the very same app and very same environment. And it's been an absolute joy switching around between them. Drastically increased my book-reading. I have been telling everyone who wants to hear about it.
Anyone curious to do the same I greatly recommend using PodcastAddict and its integrated "virtual podcasts" feature. That one allows you to create a "podcast" from a selected folder with audiofiles.
Combine this with Audiobookstore.com or any other place where you can actually download books you purchase, and you can have the same set-up. See image for result: https://imgur.com/a/Jp0vgY3

You know, someone should distribute transcripts of these podcasts, so you can read them at your own time... 108.162.221.81 10:58, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Distribute? Sounds very labour-intensive, compared to downloading. Get a building, let people come into the building and take whatever bundles of podcast printouts they want, from what you have. Either buy them outright (to cover costs) or just borrow them, no more tgan a few at a time, and bring them back for someone else to borrow later. 172.70.85.22 12:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
