This sector is still growing. It’s been all growth for like 15 years or something now.

Convenience is king. Convenience, convenience, convenience.

And people do not want that fake AI junk. They want real humans talking.

Between Downpour.com which is the download arm of Blackstone Audio and Cloud which works for my two library download services it’s pretty good out there. Hugh Frazier reads Agatha Christie. My favorite reading voice.

For some reason I find women’s voices grating.

Downpour has a daily $3.99 offer. Some gold and some duds. Worth it!

I certainly hope it is true that AI will not displace human readers.

I’m making some progress on “The Naked Communist“… And I hope I can finish it soon, because it is pretty disturbing in a way that people need to understand with the upcoming election.
