NYTimes on sf podcasting and Creative Commons
Today's NYTimes has a great piece on Creative Commons and podcasting -- they talk about podcasting legend Scott Sigler, Tee Morris, JC Hutchins, Mark Jeffrey, Evo Terra and even me!“Most of the science-fiction authors are more tech savvy than romance authors,” Mr. Terra said. Podiobooks features primarily unpublished writers, and has rejected books only because of “hate speech,” Mr. Terra said. The site also includes guidelines on recording a book.Link“Compared to audiobooks these authors break every rule in the business, including using sound effects,” Mr. Terra said. The podcast books also use music and a full cast more liberally than traditional audiobooks. Still, what Podiobooks’ offerings might lack in polish, they tend to make up for in brash enthusiasm.
