I hope I'm posting this in the correct page, since I'm not recommending any particular recording from the site (which offers many to choose from). Please move my post if it belongs in the other audiobooks thread.
FYI, today I ran across the website
Telltale Weekly, described thusly:

Here are the first several paragraphs from the site's
Mission page:

Telltale Weekly is a provider of low cost, DRM-free audiobook downloads in MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and AAC formats. The project began with multiple weekly releases, but by 2005 the focus shifted to less-frequent, longer works (and making fun of the site name).
Most of the recordings for sale at Telltale will be released free via Spoken Alexandria and elsewhere within five years of release at Telltale, thus continually building and funding a free audiobook library. There’s also the occasional modern work which isn’t part of this eventually-free program, and then quite a few works that began free and will remain so. Hopefully they’re all labeled clearly enough to minimize confusion.
