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:

For a while in the mid to late 2000s, a lot of undiscovered authors were podcasting their books. I discovered Scott Sigler, JC Hutchins, Matt Wallace, and a few others this way. It also led to me starting to listen to more audiobooks. Although I have mostly been listening to traditional audiobooks the past few years, I think I'll still enjoy the serialized podcast format. 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 got that one, too. The only problem with it is that I love Bronson Pinchot's narration for the books so much, and the voice he does for Jake is so distinctive, I couldn't really get into the person playing Jake in the full-cast version. Otherwise it was a decent short story adaptation.
