1. Great episode guys. I’ve always planned on putting my genre fiction novels on Podiobooks, but now that I’ve landed a gig as an audio book narrator on ACX I want to put it on there too, but I can’t have it on ACX and podiobooks, so I’m wondering what I should do. I’m thinking about doing what Hutch did with his novel Personal Effects and putting up a little prequel novella for free on Podiobooks, then have the full novel available through ACX. I don’t know, we’ll see.

   Also, as soon as I landed the audio book narration gig through ACX I bought Dan Sawyer’s book “Making Tracks” and it was very helpful. I’ve recorded 12 of my own short stories and one novellette but doing a full novel was a surprisingly different animal. Producing almost 8 hours of audio has been like a marathon – though one I really enjoyed. I started by just hitting record and reading through mistakes and all, but that left me with over 2 hours of audio to edit down to like 50ish minutes of finished audio. This took FOREVER. I found that whenever I made a mistake if I stopped, erased and rerecorded then it was a much faster process in post. Recording took a bit longer, and I still had to do tons of editing to take out mouth sounds and fix the timing between most of the sentences, but saved me a ton of time.

   Anyways, great show guys! I love audio books and podiobooks.
