Books in Sound is a free podcast series that presents an assortment of hundreds of the worlds greatest books through the magic of the performing arts.
Instead of having a single narrator read an audiobook, these performances have a full cast of actors, suitable background music, and special effects that help define the drama.
Most presentations are from old time radio theater broadcasts that have been remastered in an effort to remove most of the hissing, clicking and volume fluctuations. Many of the presentations are from the 1930’s and 1940’s, so a significant amount of work went into the remastering process.
Most presentations are about one hour, some are multiple hours and some are abbreviated presentation that last about half an hour, making this series wonderful for bedtime stories, self improvement by learning about literature, or simply as a very imaginative form of entertainment.
The episodes are not sequential, but we do recommend listening to the complete collection starting with the first episode so that you can grow and benefit from the wide assortment of styles and content.
