I hate to be a Chicken Little, but it is quite possible that we are seeing cracks in the firmament above. On or about Friday, September 22nd, Apple (AAPL) sent a cease and desist notice to a little company called Podcast Ready, who make a nifty little take-anywhere podcatching application called myPodder. We know Apple [...]
Hooray for BoingBoing.net! The ubercool “Directory of Wonderful Things” posted an entry about an upcoming launch party for the sequel to J.C. Hutchins’ podiobook, 7th Son: Book One – Descent. The party will be held this Saturday (Sept. 23) in the metaverse-inspired online community Second Life. The BoingBoing post is here. You can find out [...]
Occasionally, I hear of other organizations doing similar things to what we are doing here at Podiobooks.com. Today I found out about DailyLit. They specialize in supplying text versions of books in the public domain. But since they also recognize that people are inherently busy, they supply the books in bite-sized chunks via email.

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.

Open call for comments: leave ‘em right here or email me (or others) offline. We think the software (EachCaster™) that runs Podiobooks.com is pretty slick. According to the growing active subscriber rate, lots of you do too. But it’s not just limited to .mp3 files of audiobooks. There’s a whole world of content out there. [...]

Taking a break from full length novels, I was recently asked by Rick and Matt from Variant Frequencies to narrate one of their shows. They feature an eclectic mix of original short fiction and I’ve been following them from the beginning. My piece is entitled The Last Frequency, and it was a lot of fun [...]
