The benefits of serializing audiobooks

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

I found the following comment on Falcon Twin™, an online graphic novel. On February 13th, the BMan said:
I’ve been aware of Podiobooks[.com] for a while but never really bothered to check it out. Part of the reason is that I don’t like going there and seeing lots of completed podiobooks; one of the things I […]

Successfully giving away a free audiobook - from the author’s point of view

Monday, January 29th, 2007

John Lenahan’s Shadomagic is a quite the rising star on here on Podiobooks.com. The book is currently listed as the Top Rated book on our Charts page and the feedback from listeners is always glowing. And then there is the fact that I’m enjoying the heck out of this free audiobook. He recently emailed this […]

Podiobooks.com noticed by ResearchBuzz

Monday, November 27th, 2006

I noticed quite the comprehensive write-up about the free service we offer here at Podiobooks.com by a site called ResearchBuzz. Where some reviews a praising and some reviews are critical (not just about us, but anything), this one is… precise. The reviewer takes what I perceive as a “neutral point of view” as you might […]

Best. Writeup. EVAR!

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

Note: misspelling of “ever” completely on purpose. It’s a WI! thing.
This site and several books received huge props and a brilliant description from Jeremiah, a person initially unimpressed with the podosphere. What changed his mind? Podiobooks.com, baby!
Here’s an excerpt:
Most of the podcasts I’d checked out didn’t hold my interest, and in my view amounted to […]

Mark prefers our solution…

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

Look what the mail bag brought me today: High Praise!
All the money I’ve been spending on that other site, Audiobooks.com, is going to start pooring your way!
I love iPods but I HATE (like pissed off) the way AudioBooks and iTunes uses DRM. I’m dislexic. Reading is hard. I often by both the audio […]

Jann sends her love

Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

I get warm fuzzies when I hear this kind of stuff from people:
I LOVE the idea of serialized podiobooks delivered on a schedule I choose!
Just so you know, that is the reason I got them from you and not from another outlet. This meshes perfectly with the way i listen… being able […]

Podiobooks as teaching tools

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

My wife is a teacher of language arts, and I’ve had many conversations with educators who like the idea behind Podiobooks.com. Seems the infection is spreading around the world, according to an ESL teacher from Greece:
I’m using The Pocket and the Pendant audio book by Mark Archer as a teaching tool.I give the students […]

We have made Mike an honest man!

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

A recent comment made it’s way to me, from a fan who we’ll call “Mike” to protect his identity:
I think that potty-o books (my little joke there) are
a great idea. I’ve been listening to ripped audio
books before when I had a boring job and didn’t have
to concentrate on it. Took the edge off the boredom.

Not only did Mario decide to toss us some coinage, but he took the time to tell me why:
I donated to support future endeavors.
Thanks for providing these [podiobooks], and for taking the time

indeed spread the word about your site.
Great to hear, Mario!
