Scott Sigler has been building an army right under your nose. It's been getting bigger for years, and it might finally be too big to ignore. Thousands of fans have listened to podcasts of his books, and now he's taking over bookstores everywhere with Infected, his unsettling tale of something... unusual... under your skin.
Scott pioneered the practice of podcasting novels, and his are some of the most suspenseful around. His loyal fans call themselves Junkies, and it's not hard to see why: they're...
oh man...
I've been listening to the siglercast since earthcore (I think). Sigler writes some awesome stuff and podcasts some good stories... but his shit is never on time :S.
Anyways, if you guys have a 20-40 minute commute... a little sigler on your iPod will take the edge off that. Bigorangemachine highly recommends sigler .

I don't think I'd like podcasts. I hate being read to. I hope this isn't the direction literature is going to take.
then you haven't heard a good audio book - tim curry reading Lemony Snickett, neil gaiman reading any of his books. just sheer joy in hearing a well written book read by someone who understands the art of oral storytelling

The entirety of Discworld is read so goddamn well, I'm willing to say it's better than reading it. Seriously, it all depends on the narrator. I have something like 60gb of audiobooks, and for the most part they're great, but the few that are read badly, are read badly. Liike, say, Ethan Hawke reading Slaughterhouse Five. NO THANK YOU.

I don't think it would matter for me. I've never liked listening to anyone read. Or being told stories. Not even when I was a kid. Always preferred reading it myself.
