The quality on these is pretty variable, but you might find one or two there you like.
One of the first audiobooks I found when I started doing this was an authorized podcast of C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia." The podcast (available here) is from Ancient Faith Radio and is read by Chrissi Hart. Her readings are not quite to the level of most published audiobook standards, but I enjoy them.
Finally, if you are looking for real audiobooks from a podcast (and you have some patience) check out the Baen podcasts ( here). They've been doing this for just over a year, and as a part of each episode they have been including an actual audiobook. Some are just short stories (but still quite good), but they have also included some of the audiobooks done by Audible as well. They first big one they did was David Weber's "Shadow of Freedom," a Honor Harrington novel. They are currently serializing Larry Correia's "Hard Magic," but it will be a while before that is finished. |
Thanks for bringing up podcasts. I have a post -
Other Sources for Free Audiobooks - that lists some of them; along with radio dramas. Podiobooks is already listed; but Baen and Ancient Faith are new to me, so I'll add them the list.
