  • Galileo by Walter W. Bryant ~ Full Audiobook
    Jun 9 2025
    Galileo by Walter W. Bryant audiobook. Step into the rattling streets of 16th-century Pisa and the candlelit halls of the Roman Inquisition with Walter W. Bryant’s “Galileo,” now brilliantly conveyed in audiobook form by a rich, authoritative voice that turns history into a living, breathing drama. From the moment our narrator’s warm timbre greets you, you’ll feel the tension of a young, fiercely curious mind as Galileo Galilei crafts his first telescope and peers into a cosmos full of untold mysteries. Bryant’s meticulous research blossoms in vivid scenes: the thrill of discovery as Jupiter’s moons come into focus, the hush of scholarly halls debating whether Earth orbits the Sun, and the harrowing footsteps echoing down stone corridors toward the Vatican’s tribunal. Each chapter crackles with intellectual passion, personal sacrifice, and the clash between reason and authority—brought to life through masterful pacing, subtle inflections, and evocative sound design that places you at Galileo’s side, heart pounding as he defends his truth against the might of the Church. Whether you’re a history buff, science enthusiast, or simply craving a gripping saga of courage and conviction, this audiobook will carry you across centuries in an unforgettable journey. Press play, and witness the dawn of modern science through the eyes of its greatest pioneer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Jo's Boys by Louisa May Alcott ~ Full Audiobook
    Jun 6 2025
    Jo's Boys by Louisa May Alcott audiobook. Step into the world of Plumfield School and let the warm, spirited narration of Jo’s Boys whisk you straight into the heart of 19th-century New England—where Jo March, now Mrs. Bhaer, has turned her beloved home into a bustling haven for her father’s former students. From the rough-and-tumble Dan to the poetic, dreamy Nat, each boy arrives burdened by a secret or a sorrow, and under Jo’s firm but loving guidance they discover that true character is forged in kindness, hard work, and high ideals. Louisa May Alcott’s gently humorous prose sparkles with the same sisterly affection you remember from Little Women, yet here the stakes are higher: fortunes may be won or lost, first loves kindled, and lifelong dreams set in motion. As the audiobook’s rich narration breathes life into every laugh, tear, and triumph, you’ll find yourself laughing at the boys’ mischief, rooting for their triumphs, and feeling the quiet pride with which Jo watches them grow. Whether you’re drawn to tales of ambition, loyalty, or the relentless hope that family can be chosen and reborn, this audiobook transforms a timeless classic into an intimate, emotional journey—perfect for your commute, your evening stroll, or a cozy night by the fire. Let Jo’s Boys remind you why Alcott’s wisdom still resonates today, one heartfelt chapter at a time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I've now listened to several of these 800+ (and growing) episodes/books, and sampled many more. They are read well, for the most part, and cover a broad range of topics, authors and time periods. There are both fiction and non-fiction, children's, YA and adult titles. I assume all are in the public domain, whether by lapsed or expired copyright. A number of the series' titles are otherwise unavailable for free through Audible, but the edition for sale on Audible will likely be a better reading or translation. I haven't checked, but some of the more obsure titles are likely not available at all. Some have attributions to Librivox, but a variety of sources seem to be drawn from. The biggest drawback, due to the podcast/episode structure of the collection, is that you can't search by title or author, only by upload date. You must load page after page until you find (or don't find) a title or author you're hoping is in the collection. But what do you want for FREE? There are both diamonds and lumps of coal in this mine. You just have to keep digging until you find your diamonds.
