I heard there’s a growing community of audiobook aficionados on YouTube, so I put my audiobooks up there.

It’s YouTube, so they’re free to listen to.

Not quite the same functionality as you’d find in your standard audiobook app, but it’s YouTube, and if you’re logged in, it’ll remember where you left off. Couldn’t be easier.

And I realize that not everyone can drop ten bucks on an audiobook, and I don’t that stopping anyone from checking them out.

My channel is here. 

It’s kind of fun to put them together. 

Because of the format, it needs to be one giant movie. The Magic of Unkindness, which I put up this week, runs over 12 hours—which meant stringing together all the individual chapter .mp3s in Logic Pro X, then putting that file (in that case, two files because Logic can only process 12 hours worth of audio at once…) into iMovie along with an image.

Then that took about 4 hours to export.

Then that took about 4 hours to upload.

And then I realized I needed to split that into two separate videos, because YouTube also has a 12-hour limit.

Lots of set it and forget it when I stepped away from my computer for the day.

Enjoy them, if you like. If you know someone who might like them, point them that way.

And you can also still buy the audiobooks directly from me if you prefer the convenience of using a dedicated audiobook app (and getting savings from the major online retailers.)
