I like to walk. Amazon Audible has over twenty-three full DAYS of listening time just from me since 2018. That's more than five hundred and fifty-two hours, or thirty-three thousand minutes. Fuck, I use it while cooking, cleaning the house, watering the garden, even sometimes while smoking weed.

The current Medium narrator-bot isn't horrible, but I don't enjoy using it.

If personal narrations were payed, more people would do them, and people like me would be on Medium more. Plus, we'd probably see a new age for voice-actors. Just a little bonus, organically creating new jobs!

Point being, this idea is fire, and I hope we all get to see it go somewhere soon.

I'm also super curious what's everything they've got going on that attracting the large podcast/radio/audiobook listening community felt low-priority.

It's exciting.

Anyway, I have another one of your pieces open in another tab, you know which one. Been failing to word my comment for hours, kind of finally just let it be for the night.

I wish you all the love and light in the fabric of existence.

Toodeloo, and take care 😊✨
