I love Audiobookshelf.

But also, I fucking hate Audiobookshelf.

A good book with a great narrator.

Finished this a couple of weeks ago. Thoroughly enjoyable—and halcyonic—audiobook. (For people who grew up watching Ebert & Siskel.)

Part true crime technothriller, part Intro to Crypto 101. Excellent at both.

Not what I was expecting, so the first half didn't really captivate me. But I'm glad I stuck with it because the second half did.

It's not a standard biography, but rather a "faith biography", as Tiya Miles puts it, in an ecowomanist framework.

An immersive dive into a seminal moment in US civil rights and gay history.

It's good to learn something during Pride month. I didn't even know this is why it's in June. 😔

A thorough and informative dive into this conflict I've heard about (and opinions on) for my entire life, but never actually studied it. Excllent book.

What a ride! High-tech 1980s... when you needed to leave your computer and run to the library to check an atlas. 😁

Incredible audiobook. I knew *about* The Silk Road of course, but knew nothing of its history/story.

I HATE washing dishes but I seem to be slowly chipping away at my aversion to the task, partly by washing dishes a bit more frequently than before. Also, #audibooks.

My first narration on Audible is now available!

"Big Huge Blow Out Liquid Dynamite Sale" by Joshua James Jordan is a weird western short story. Zort the goblin gets help from an unlikely source to become the richest person west of the Mississippi... but a bigger creature has its canines set on the same goal!

I kind of started by accident because I set a sleep timer and listen to #audibooks when I go to bed. This style is comfy enough to wear all night and the wireless design makes bathroom trips easier! I need bright colours to make them easier to find. I still managed to lose one case and a single bud.

Latest read (audio), The Last Seance (1933) by Agatha Christie from the collection of the same name; a medium summons spirits into being, but is endangered by a wealthy patron when she summons her lost child.
Christie wrote supernatural tales so eloquently it's a wonder it wasn't her primary focus.

What would you do if someone suggested that, in the actual world you live in, that the robots are absolutely going to take the job you love, but hopefully enough of the people who do that job can band together, you can convince the powers that be to compensate you for the part of your job that the robots are copying?

This is the argument that was just made for how audiobook narrators should cope with losing work to AI.

I was not gentle in my response.
