I don't mind hearing a few ads for a free good-quality listen.
I was checking out the websites to see what the authors I listed above are up to now, and it seems that Scott Sigler still podcasts his books. If you enjoy horror/scifi, you might like his work. The chapters/episodes are free on iTunes or your favorite podcast app. I listened to Infected in podcast format and enjoyed it.

I am familiar with authors podcasting their own work with them reading. I particularly enjoyed Mur Lafferty's "The Shambling Guide to New New York" as a podcast (along with its sequel). It's not as common to find them with professional voice actors, though. Last year we got one of the still-copyrighted Agatha Christie stories via podcast. Baen also serializes their Audible titles at the end of their podcasts (though they have this stupid music overlapping each episode just to annoy their listeners).
