I don't know about you but it seems the audiobook freebies have really dried up lately. Fortunately, I have some good news for you. GraphicAudio stopped their podcast (G.A.S.P) last May so I haven't gotten any audio content via podcast in a while. AudioFile Magazine has now entered the podcast realm with Audiobook Break.

Listen to an audiobook chapter by chapter. In collaboration with audio publishers and professional narrators, AudioFile serializes extraordinary audiobooks. Three times a week, we bring you a new chapter; listen throughout the week or binge them on the weekend. Hear great books brought to life with brilliant performances and produced with the highest audio standards. It's a wonderful way to take a break—an audiobook break.

The first offering is "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. This version is from Naxos Audiobooks, narrated by Nicholas Boulton. You can get it via your favorite podcast provider (some in the link above) or directly from AudioFile's website.

Enjoy!
