Audible Daily Deal -- exp 18 Aug

$2.95 -- Amok -- Sebastian Fitzek/ full cast --> 8.1 hrs/ R-4.2 --> thriller

Day 4 of Audible Studios Week

Quote:
Amok: An Audible Original Drama

Whispersync: no deals at this time

This was to be her last day alive. The renowned criminal psychologist Ira Samin prepared her suicide thoroughly. The death of her eldest daughter had weighed too heavily on her conscience for her to carry on and she yearned for one last drink to raise a toast to oblivion. Her morbid plans are interrupted and she is called in to negotiate a gruesome hostage situation at a radio station where a psychopath is playing a morbid game.

While the show is on air, he calls people from the phonebook at random. If they pick up the phone with a certain slogan, a hostage is set free. If they don't, then the hostage is unceremoniously shot. The man threatens to continue playing this game until his fiancée arrives at the studio. The only problem is that his fiancée died several months ago....

AMOK is a gripping audiodrama and tense psychological hostage thriller set in a Berlin Radio Station, from the internationally renowned author of the best-selling Audible Original Drama The Child.

This book has a free three chapter preview is one wants to give it a longer than normal preview before purchasing.
http://www.audible.com/pd/Mysteries-..._c8_2_sim_auth

Finding this freebie made me notice that how darn many freebies are on Audible. They may all be in the first page, but for example, there are 80+ free interviews.

That link shows 88 interviews, but only 82 are available for free. Two are paid and four are no longer available. They range in length from 7 to 42 minutes.

Wonky things are happened with those free interviews, so maybe they are newly added to Audible.

When I first posted, none were showing as "no longer available", but now 9 of them do so. I can't imagine they ever plan to make them paid, so perhaps it's just early database glitches.

I think a lot of these shorter entries are intended for their "channels" section, but end up being available to anyone depending on how they set them up.

All the ones I wanted that came up as unavailable were showing today (8/18) as the release date; they are now available. So maybe they were in the midst of updating earlier.

P.S. How could Audible have come up with so many truly unflattering author photos? They're all awful.

SYNC is now over for 2016. It'll return next May 2017. The entry for it in the OP has been collapsed and moved to the bottom of the OP under other Free Audiobook Offers:
Quote:
What is SYNC? -- SYNC is a free summer audiobook program for teens 13+. Returning in May 2017 SYNC will give away two complete audiobook downloads a week - pairs of high interest titles, based on weekly themes. In 2016, 30 titles were given away over 15 weeks.
Quote:
A message from SYNC

Quote:
Fifteen weeks and thirty free audiobooks for teen listeners later, we want to thank you for your enthusiasm and tell you a bit about what comes next.
Quote:
During the "off season" we continue to remain a presence here on social media and both post and read your posts on Twitter (@AudiobookSYNC), on Facebook (@SYNCAudiobooks), and here on the blog. We hope you'll share with us and other #audiobookSYNC16 participants responses you have and you hear from teens about this season's collection of audiobooks. Suggestions for next year are welcome, too! Just DM us on Twitter or Facebook.
Quote:
So, this isn't a good-bye; it's just a bend in the road. Keep in touch! And keep listening!

Updating for sure, because they've added more interviews. I'll wait until things settle down before I update the number of titles available.

The photos are rather ghastly

Speaking of which . . . . I don't know quite how to put this . . . . please don't be offended . . . . but your tubemonkey photo could use some Photoshopping, too.

An observation. I have no analysis or insight to offer.

The selection of books in Audiobooks.com's current Flash Sale is very similar to the selection of Non-Fiction books in Audible's current Much-Loved Listens sale. Very similar.

Interesting; and cheaper than Audible:

Audiobooks.com: 2 books @ $5 ea = $10

Audible Sale: 2 books for 1 credit = $15
