  3. The Witcher Is Getting the Full-Cast Audiobook Treatment, Following Rise in Audio Drama Popularity

    A new slate of "full-cast audio dramas" based on Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher books is set to release in 2026 and 2027. Starting with Crossroads of Ravens, Sapkowski's latest Witcher novel and a prequel following an 18-year-old Geralt of Rivia, which is out now.

    Rather than a traditional audiobook built around a single narrator, the new production uses an ensemble cast alongside original music and sound design to bring Sapkowski's world to life.

    The cast includes Sam Stafford as Young Geralt, Richard Armitage as Preston Holt, Clare Corbett as Nenneke, Tom Alexander as Artamon of Asguth, Peter Kenny as the narrator, among others.

    That's only the beginning as well, with the publisher planning to work through the rest of Sapkowski's Witcher saga over the next two years. The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny are scheduled to follow in November 2026, before the rest rolls out across 2027.

    How to Listen for Less Than $1

    If the new full-cast productions have you wanting to revisit The Witcher in audio, Amazon is currently offering a particularly cheap way to get started.

    New and returning subscribers can get four months of Audible Standard for just $0.99 per month, giving you access to the service's wider audiobook catalogue alongside the growing Witcher audio lineup. The offer is available for a limited time, so it's worth checking the terms before signing up.

    The "Full-Cast" format that has been gaining considerable traction across audiobooks in recent years. There have already been various adaptations for franchises like Alien, Sandman, and Assassin's Creed, to name a few.

    GraphicAudio has built an entire business around what it describes as 'a movie in your mind', with its dramatized Fourth Wing adaptations bringing together full-casts, narration, sound effects, and original music.

    Amazon has also seen similar success with its full-cast adaptations of the Harry Potter series starring some big names like Hugh Laurie, Michelle Gomez, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy, and Kit Harrington, among plenty of others.

    The Witcher's move into full-cast audio is just as notable, given just how many different interpretations of Sapkowski's world already exist.

    As many fans will likely already be aware, the fantasy books have already inspired globally successful video games and TV series, alongside various animated films, comics, and more.

    TITLE: STAT+: In radiology, AI is blurring the line between technology development and clinical practice

    URL: statnews.com/2026/09/24/radiol

    A decade ago, machine learning scientist and Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton made a proclamation that still puts radiologists on edge.

    “If you work as a radiologist,” the so-called godfather of artificial intelligence said at a conference, “you’re like a coyote that’s already over the edge of the cliff, but hasn’t yet looked down.” Deep learning was getting so good, so fast, said Hinton, that “people should stop training radiologists now.” In five years — ten, max — AI would do better than radiologists, he predicted. 

    The clock has run out on that prediction. But the field of radiology isn’t just staring at its shoes, waiting to see how technology upends the profession. Instead, a growing number of radiology practices, in particular outpatient and teleradiology groups, are aggressively embracing AI: developing and acquiring their own tech, deploying it in-house, and marketing their “AI-native” capabilities to radiologist employees and hospital customers alike.

  19. A fascinating post on the consequences of #AI flooding the #AcademicPublishing market.

    giorgio.gilest.ro/the-weimar-o

    The initial assessment of the problem is right on target, and one of the clearest descriptions of the problem.

    I'm not sure, however, that I completely agree with the conclusions or action solution suggestions. In biology (particularly neuroscience), for example, the rate limiting step is often not the physical collection of data, but the analysis of it, which AI can do (can approximate) quickly.

    In fact, we've already seen this with people using automated behavioral tracking and automated spike sorting without curation, both of which are clearly about choosing to accept fast but noisy approximations rather than quality assessments.

    The "golden age" point made that scholarship being judged by merit and not reputation* was a 60-year anomaly coming after WWII reminds me of Thomas Piketty's brilliant book __Capital in the 21st century__ which pointed out that the labor > capital that blossomed in the middle decades of the 20th century was the anomaly, not the rule.

    * Sure, merit > reputation was never pure. (I could track my seniority by which editors would take my call to rethink the rejection of my paper. And just try to get Nature to reject a paper by a Nobel laureate.) But reputation was almost never enough. Merit mattered. And it really was possible for the non-famous to break into major publications with good and important work. It will be sad to lose these.

    Thanks to @brembs for pointing to it.
