So, Soundbooth Theater is producing an Industrial Strength Magic audiobook with the ever-affable Steve Campbell! It will cover chapter 1-83, and it will not cause the stubbing of the first 83 chapters. Plans for kindle are set at least one year after the release of the audiobook, so if ISM is ever stubbed, it'll be somewhere around 2025. Your Royal Road ISM is safe.

Something that you might not know, is that Soundbooth Theater has a tradition of doing cold-reads, where they read the book for the first time and film it while they try to decide who they are going to be casting. This includes asking pointed questions of the authors about pronunciation and character details.

I thought you guys might be interested.

Steve has been doing these cold-reads every business day for the last week, so there's five of them up already, and he's going to be doing a couple more, maybe the next 3-4 business days, around 9:00 am mountain time each time.

This is the link to part one. I imagine if you're interested, you're going to be more than able to use that one as a jumping-off point to track down the one that will be recording in about an hour.

If you wanna get to the actual reading part of the story, you can skip past the first half hour or so, where Steve kinda just hardcore picks my brain. I think the guy was an interviewer in a past life. If you wanna join in and defend Macronomicon in the youtube comments from that mean Majority Rules guy (Definitely not me), you're welcome to do so.
