It is not cheap. It's around ~$20 per hour of audio. Luckily there are people on bord with this project who help cover cost through a Patreon

Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying the audio format. I really agree this story is worth "reading" in some form, it's why I'm working on this project.

Yes! There are RSS feeds for Planecrash, Luminosity, Animorphs and the article feed.

I've produced a multi voiced Elevenlabs reading of this post, for ease of listening and speaker differentiation.

I have to say I'm slightly surprised, I personally think the ElevenLabs voice is more emotive, and I find it much easier listening. Is the general opinion that it is actually inferior?

I've created an ElevenLabs AI narrated version of this post. I know their is already a voice option on this page, but I personally prefer the ElevenLabs output. https://www.patreon.com/posts/93392366?utm_campaign=postshare_creator

If you are looking for any support on a more naturalistic version of those posts that make it to the podcast feed, I have been experimenting heavily and producing an ElevenLabs AI podcast of Yudkowsky's latest fiction. I have an API pipeline already built, and could assist in producing a test episode or two.

I have taken up the torch, and I am creating a podcast of Planecrash using a version of current-gen voice tech to create a multi-voiced performance. Weekly episodes are coming out here https://shows.acast.com/project-lawful-aka-planecrash
