For those of us that have already purchased some podcast sequences from Castify,

  1. How much of this audiobook will double up (in terms of both content and new voice acting)?
  2. Will currently unavailable individual sequences be available for purchase separately at some stage?

  1. How much of this audiobook will double up (in terms of both content and new voice acting)?

About 1/3 is covered by posts that have been read in previous sequences.

  1. Will currently unavailable individual sequences be available for purchase separately at some stage?

If this project includes a complete sequence we'll also release that as a standalone purchase.

PS: Thanks for your prior support, we wouldn't have made it this far without you.

FYI. Any purchase of an audiobook will come with the corresponding ebook version.

The Promoted Posts and the Metaethics sequence now available in audio

16 Rick_from_Castify 03 June 2014 02:00AM

We are proud to announce audio versions of the Less Wrong Promoted Posts and the Metaethics major sequence, both now available via a Castify Podcast.

The Less Wrong Promoted Posts feed will have every new promoted post which has been tagged with the Creative Commons Attribution License.  We'll aim to have them read and to you via the podcast within 48 hours.  We've found this to be a good way to keep up with Less Wrong, especially for longer articles like last month's interesting long-form post called "A Dialouge on Doublethink" by BrienneStrohl.

The Metaethics Sequence is the next installment of the sequences we've produced into audio.  We now have 7 Less Wrong sequences in audio, with more on their way. 

As always we appreciate your support and your feedback: support@castify.co.

Audio Version of "How to Actually Change Your Mind"

14 Rick_from_Castify 18 February 2014 08:23PM

The audio version of the mega-sequence "How to Actually Change Your Mind" is now available.  It's the biggest sequence we've done yet, coming in at over 8 hours of audio.  Here at Castify we think this sequence is the most important one we've done so far.

On the wiki it says, "The most important technique that Less Wrong can offer you is 'How to Actually Change Your Mind'".  I couldn't agree more.  If you haven't read it already I'd strongly recommend it.  If you have more free "ear time" than "eye time" or you learn better from listening this audio version is for you.

Feedback is welcome: support@castify.co

Areyou still interested and are you interested in non american accents?

Comment author: Rick_from_Castify 20 August 2013 12:47:21AM 1 point [-]

We have someone doing a trial run at the moment. Happy to hear more auditions, send one through.

Are the sequence scripts going to be edited? Eliezers work is good for an amateur, but is obviously not professional grade writing, so some editing for fluidity might be helpful.

Comment author: Rick_from_Castify 07 August 2013 01:05:48AM 1 point [-]

We do minor edits when needed but other than that the scripts are intact. While not perfect writing, the content is what matters and that comes across very well in the recordings.

Ok, had a go on it as well. And what format do you want?

We can handle anything for the application but do most of our work with mp3 files.

Seeking a reader for LessWrong sequences

5 Rick_from_Castify 04 August 2013 10:58AM

As some of you are aware we make audio versions of LessWrong sequences.  We are looking to hire someone from the LessWrong community who has a good voice and is keen to record the remaining sequences.  There is quite a bit of material as I'm sure you are all aware. 

Anybody who is interested please record yourself reading Politics is the Mind-Killer and send it to support@castify.co.  Please say what sort of recording device you used and keep the recording size rational.

Thanks to all of you who have been listening.

In the description in the centre of the page, it says "Note: Due to its abundant use of math, this package excludes the article The Quotation is not the Referent." but then right next to that, number 6 in the list of Included Articles, is "The Quotation is not the Referent".

Also, is it possible to get a preview?
