Well, not the whole thing, but it’s still great listening.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Wil Wheaton’s latest book/chapbook being published as a .pdf file, for $5USD. It’s wonderful – I’ve really enjoyed it a lot. Now he’s done an audio version of his production diary from last night’s episode of Criminal Minds as a DRM-free mp3 file, also for $5USD.
Wow.
This is my first experience with Wheaton’s audiobooks. I really enjoy his sadly infrequent Radio Free Burrito podcasts, and this really reminds me of that, in the best possible way. He reads the production diary, but there’s also asides, explanations and tangents along with that. The file’s pretty long, almost 2 hours worth, but definitely worth the time. Really great stuff. You might not want to share it with your little one, though; unless, of course, they’ve gotten to watch the Criminal Minds episode (which I would DEFINITELY not recommend for young kids).
He’s pretty committed to the idea of DRM-free, open source and self publishing formats – something much appreciated here at Chez Evil. Wheaton’s first two Operation Crazy Ideas have been great so far. I really hope this works out for him.
