I've been working my way through this 1950s podcast by someone named John Tolkien called 'Lord of the Rings'--it's a deep dive into this fictional world he created. Good stuff, really bingeable!

Podcast audio books were a thing at one point! You could download free, serialized audiobooks, usually read by the author! They were called podiobooks (and was a website of the same name) and I really miss that time. Some of my favorite authors and books come from that time.
I still have the creative common copies of a bunch of them and can share if anyone wants. Not all were CC, but you could freely share.
There's still some that exist! I'm currently listening to a pod cast version of The Icewind Dale Trilogy on Spotify.
