Tor and Macmillan to release audiobooks as podcasts
I came across an interesting short news audio file from NPR:

http://www.npr.org/2017/05/17/528730...-to-audiobooks

This led me to dig a little further, which led to this article:

http://www.tor.com/2017/05/01/tor-labs-announcement/

Here is the part that will interest most of you:

Quote:
Steal the Stars is a noir science fiction thriller in 14 episodes, airing weekly from August 2 – November 1, 2017, and available worldwide on all major podcast distributors through the Macmillan Podcast Network. It will be followed immediately by a novelization of the entire serial from Tor Books, as well as an ads-free audio book of the podcast from Macmillan Audio.
Basically, Tor and Macmillan will be releasing original content as a serialized podcast. When they are done it will become a book and audiobook, but only after the podcast is done. I suppose this isn't so different from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy;" that seemed to work out so it is worth a try.
