Audio"books": Recent Episodes

I would like to be able to read to my mother while quarantined. I've come up with the revolutionary idea to make lazy audio "books" of the synopses of our favorite books, so that I don't need to stumble through a full book over the phone. 鈾ワ笍 Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/audio-books-podcast/support

I've realized that a plot summary might not make much sense to anyone who hasn't already read the books. This is a very brief overview of the characters from the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy. I hope that knowing a bit about the characters can help my summaries make a bit more sense. 馃檪 Through advertising, I earn roughly $0.01 every time someone listens to a full episode and advertisement. Please listen to this episode at least 35 times so I can afford to buy some ramen. Thanks for listening! 馃挄

Anchor Podcast Ad #1. I am somewhat feeble-minded and technologically illiterate, so I had to upload this sponsorship advertisement as a podcast episode just so that I could upload it as an ad to other videos. You may literally have this same ad played as an ad for this ad, back-to-back with this ad. I know I could just delete this, but think it's funny. But if you like ads, pease do me a favor and listen to this at least 99 times, so that I can afford to buy some cotton candy. 馃挏

This is my first audio"book" recording. I have chosen to (poorly)read the Wikipedia synopsis of Dragons of Autumn Twilight, the first book in the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy (and the very first Dragonlance novel). Written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, published in 1984. Plot summary plagiarized from the Wikipedia page. I decided to make this podcast so that I could read to my mother and help to keep her spirits up throughout the pandemic.聽I wanted to avoid stumbling my way through reading an entire book to her over the phone (I would never want to subject anyone to listening to me speak live, or even an unedited recording). My mother had always been a prodigious reader, sometimes buying a new novel every day and finishing it before bedtime. I learned to read relatively late, because I had no interest in children's books. I wanted to read my mom's books, with dragons and hobbits and dinosaurs and wizards and spaceships on their covers (I was furious that these tantalizing tomes were filled with nothing but tiny, incomprehensible hieroglyphics). My mother and I adored the Dragonlance novels. They were some of the first books I ever read. Luckily, they had at least one picture per chapter so I was able to struggle through the entire novel at a young age. My parents even helped me learn how to read by teaching me to play Magic: the Gathering. My mother gave me the life-changing gift of Dragonlance, (and reading in general) so I figured I would try to return the favor. 鈾ワ笍 (obviously I can't be bothered to record the whole book, I'm not that great of a son). Please pardon the lack of paragraphs and coherent structure in this description. Anchor has an amazing app, with the surprising shortcoming (for creators) of only allowing episode descriptions to be a single paragraph. Through advertising, I earn roughly $0.01 every time someone listens to a full episode and advertisement. Please listen this episode at least 139 times so that I can afford to buy some Pop Rocks. Thanks for listening! 鉂わ笍
