You can also listen to them on any podcast player. Just look up Nonlinear Library.
I’ve listened to them as is and I find it pretty easy to follow, but if you’re interested in making it even easier for people to follow, these fine gentlemen have put up a ~$230 RFP/bounty for anybody who turns it into audio where each person has a different voice.
It would probably be easiest to just do it on our platform, since there’s a relatively easy way to change the voices, it will just be a tedious ~1-4 hours of work. My main bottleneck is management time, so I don’t have the time to manage the process or choose somebody who I’d trust to do it without messing with the quality.
It does seem a shame though, to have something so close to being even better, and not let people do what clearly is desired, because of my worry of accidentally messing up the quality of the audio. I think the main thing is just being conscientious enough to do 1-4 hours of repetitive work and an attention to detail.
After a couple minutes of thinking on it, I think a potential solution would be to have a super quick and dirty way to delegate trust. I’ll give you access to our platform to change the voices if you either a) are getting a/have a degree at an elite school (thus demonstrating a legible minimal amount of conscientiousness and ability to do boring tasks) or b) have at least 75 mutual EA friends with me on Facebook and can have an EA reference about your diligence.
Just DM me.
I’ll do it on a first come first serve basis.
If you do it with human voices, we’d also be happy to add that to the Library.
Finally, sorry for the delay. There was a comedy of errors where there was a bug in the system while I also came down with a human bug (a cold. Not covid :) ) and the articles were so long our regular system wasn’t working, so things weren’t automatic like usual.

That link isn’t working for me; where’s the bounty?

Thank you!
Thanks for doing this, Kat! :)
