I think that is a wonderful idea. Kudos, kudos, kudos!
It is highly likely that there will be an audiobook of it anyway, so why not record that in a PBS studio, and let them broadcast it once. Put the audiobook on sale after that "as heard on PBS". That would lend another layer of authority to the sales. Win-win.win. I bet you could get Al Pacione, Robert deNiro, Hale Berry, Demi Moore and others to donate their time for something like this.
