@ernie why worry yourself with the format if the conveying of your ideas is what matters? why not be excited at the prospect of someone taking up the mantle of making your content more accessible for you?
authors didn’t “want” to have their books read and recorded, but they realized their stories could reach more minds so they embraced audiobook technology. why not do the same?
also, why come on here to grumble about something that is so inconsequential and doesn’t harm you? most of your subscribers probably don’t read your newsletter anyway... i mean just look up newsletter read rates. like cmon now. fr?
