Robert has a good solution to blocking text-to-speech narration in audiobooks, not a problem for me as I don’t listen. But … the 2023 roundup of Tyler Cowan’s podcast said they were recording his voice for a custom text-to-speech. Might be worthwhile.

Even after a hint, which I didn’t actually need, the paucity of potential candidate was unhelpful.

Very excited to have a new season of #sceneonradio appear in my #podcast feed, looking into the coup d’etat in Wilmington, North Carolina, of 1898. John Biewen and his collaborators have produced some of the most compelling podcasts on racism and sexism, and judging by episode 1 this will be every bit as good as previous series.

Reading about how Terence Eden has integrated solar panels, smart metering and a fair-sized battery makes me very envious. I’ve never heard of anything like that on offer in Italy and as a renter rather than owner, there is absolutely no incentive for me to find out more. But I would genuinely love to pre-pay for my electricity for 10 years

Running your own site is painful. Hosting Nazis is worse
Ben Werdmuller has some excellent, coherent thoughts about what writers need to thrive independently and as part of a network. I particularly like the idea of a newsletter-based blogroll, so that if you decide to follow me, you can also sign up to follow people I follow. This could indeed foster increased readership. No idea how hard it would be to build. Mind you, I’m still too scared of losing readers to even offer paid subscriptions.
