This is not only a classic mathematical fantasy thought experiment over 125 years old, but one of the best produced audiobooks I’ve ever heard.

I am amazed at how much amusement I got from listening to a square argue with a line.

Thank you for sharing this.

I really enjoyed this one. I think it may be the best podiobook I’ve encountered thus far.

Thanks for that. There have been other audio versions available. But I thought I might add something to the presentation.

I’ve actually been a bit worried I went overboard with effects and whatnot. It’s good to hear folks are enjoying the book!

Great work! I’m glad you took the time to put this classic in audio for the enjoyment of all us listeners!

Thanks for your kind comments, Feanix. I’m glad folks are enjoying it. I’m enjoying it myself.

The story is great, Grizzly’s voice is just perfect for the role and the production values are some of the highest around. Highly reccomended! Thanks, Grizzly!

I hope you enjoyed Episode 8, and at least didn’t mind my fiddling with special effects. I was thinking, from A Square’s perspective, these later experiences were rather “science fictional,” and that should affect how the story is presented.

I’ve got Episode 9 mostly done. I’m going back and forth on a last few special effects. I think near the end of the book things should settle down a bit in that regard.

Thanks for your patience. And it’s pretty remarkable to see Flatland in the Podiobooks Top 10 for most subscriptions over the past 30 days!

I was up really late last night getting Episode 7 recorded. Tried to do some clever things with sound effects and what-not. Not my normal practice. When I listened to the episode this morning, exhausted, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the result.

Please tell me what you think. Thanks for your patience.

I also attempted to record all the remaining episodes last night, but didn’t edit those yet. Might have to re-record some of it. But now I have a better feel for how this book ought to end up sounding.

It figures.

Only a couple of days after writing the above description saying there’s no Sex in Flatland, and I find the section with the Sex in it. Graphically described — you should excuse a pun — and between a Man and TWO women!

All described in Episode Seven, if I’m not mistaken. I apologize for my error. Still, I believe I can avoid an iTunes “Explicit” tag.

And if you know why, please don’t spoil it for the new kids, ‘kay?

I love this book. It’s so often used by mathemeticians and physicists and such to illustrate this point or that. But I love its sociology. A whole class system, based upon one’s shape! (Oh, well, I guess that’s what we already have, and not really a new idea.)

Anyway, I’ll be looking forward to hearing it performed by the Grizzly Man.

Good show!

Thanks for the opportunity once again. I have to admit, it’s even taken me a while to get really hooked by this book. Now I look forward to seeing how the second part turns out. I hope I can give the book the performance it deserves.
