Audiobooks at no extra charge to our paid subscribers - Asking for your input

It’s about regular postings of audiobook episodes on this blogHere’s the deal…

A regular paid subscription to this Thinking About Thinking blog is offered at the lowest rate Substack permits - $5 per month or a one-time annual payment of $30. The first audiobook offering would be Preacher Finds a Corpse, which Audible sells for a single-copy price of more than $20.

The 43 chapters of Preacher Finds a Corpse are bundled as 24 half-hour episodes - just the right length for your daily walk or gym session.

Or, after the episodes are posted, you could binge it all by accessing each of the posts in our Archive, but only if you’re a paid subscriber.

And if this experiment works - that is, if enough of you see value and decide to upgrade - there will be more audiobooks here, including selections from mystery, historical fiction, and romantic comedy.

Before the program kickoff, let’s have your input…

Take the Survey

This brief survey should take just a couple of minutes. You’ll answer when and how often you expect to listen. Since Substack pushes out posts at a specific time, we must choose the day, time zone, and exact time of release - but the platform won’t customize those options for each listener.

Each post will open with an episode description for all subscribers, then the audio player link and the chapter text will be tucked below the paywall. Since you can read faster than you can listen, you’ll always have the text if you lose your patience or your earbuds.

So - please let us know what you think.

If you can’t wait, you can read all of the books in the series by clicking here. You can even buy the Audible audiobook of #1 or get it with your Audible subscription. The other books in the series haven’t been recorded yet.

If you’re viewing this post as a free subscriber, here’s how to upgrade to paid. Paid subscribers get all of the content below the paywall of limited-circulation posts - as well as access to all of our archival content, including podcasts.
