The Radix registry increased the price for its tld's, including the .site tld, at some point last year. This forced all domain registrars to pass that price increase to us as well. I will of course renew the domain in about a month, but this will personally affect me financially considering how much that is in my money.
If you wish to donate, see my Patreon . You can subscribe and immediately cancel if you don't want to make it recurring, because unfortunately I can't get Paypal to work! If you do not cancel your subscription that would also be highly appreciated. Maybe if we manage to raise enough money after that, we can move to independent hosting and stop straining Patrick's infrastructure! You don't have to donate if you don't want to or can't, and I will renew the domain regardless because I love this community. Your donation just means the renewal wouldn't mean restricting my personal life's spending. Thank you so much!
Just to reiterate: you can donate for one time by subscribing for $3 or more and then canceling your subscription so you're not charged again next month. Please do that if you do not intend to make a recurring donation. If you forget and accidentally get charged next month, send me an email within a week and I'll refund you, though avoiding that situation in the first place is of course preferable. Thank you for making this place worth keeping.
This is an immersive audio remix of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, based on the incredible dramatic reading that the LibriVox volunteers made. You can find the original public domain recording at librivox.org, and I really encourage you to check out and support their work because without them, this wouldn't exist. I'm not trying to replace their original recording, just offering a different way to experience it.
The original text is Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, published in 1847 and now in the public domain. The reading was created by LibriVox volunteers and is also in the public domain. You can find the full cast list and download the original at https://librivox.org/wuthering-heights-dramatic-reading-by-emily-bronte
This is a completely independent project, and I'm not affiliated with any of the volunteers who created the original reading. I'm just a fan building on their great work, and my hope is that this mix does justice to both their performance and to Emily Brontë's vision.
Please let me know your thoughts!

Fair warning: if you're new to Wuthering Heights, the first few chapters are necessarily a bit slow. It's all essential context, though.
This is just chapter one as a test. I wanted to see if this approach actually works before committing to the full twelve-hour audiobook. If people are into it and it seems worth continuing, I'll be releasing a few chapters at a time as I finish mixing them.

Do you like this site? Do you hate it? The reality of making stuff is that you almost exclusively hear from people when something is broken or they're frustrated. If I only went by my inbox, I'd think everyone hated this project. I don’t run big intrusive analytics, so this Survey exists instead to hopefully gain a better picture!
Finally! We now have a notifications system, so you’ll know imediately when something’s happening on audios you're interested in!
Notification badges will appear in the title and the notifications link if you have unread notifications. It will automatically update as you get more notifications, without the need to refresh the page! So if you just keep the site open you could just glance at it every now and then and stay completely up to date.
Go check it out, and enjoy the peace of mind of not having to chase down your own comment threads anymore ❤️
Honestly this should have been a feature from day 1, buuut better late than never I suppose. I disabled markdown headings and images though, because headings could interfear with navigation and there's no way for a bunch of blind people to moderate images lol. Enjoy!
Sorry for the shitty microphone. Yes, this will be cross-platform. I also said early demo because there are a couple more features I still need to add. Let me know your thoughts ❤️
The whole reason I originally separated AI content was because I was worried about low-effort generated spam. I'm removing the separation because most the braindead spammers have found other ways to get themselves cleaned up from this platform as a whole, and I trust the rest of you to be better than that.
Enjoy 🤍. This platform works because people care about what they share. If that changes, I'll have to implement some form of quality control again, and nobody wants that bureaucratic bullshit.
We gained sorting! Look for the new sorting form under the search bar. I happen to really enjoy choosing the random option and discover new old content without any sorting. Enjoy ❤️
Yeah so this is free writing. I opened Reaper without any plan and made everything up as I went, with a single pass. Don't expect the usual storyline quality or whatever from me, but this could be worse. I just wanted to test the new tts service, which was quite expressive but still has a long way to sounding actually good. Don't forget to comment ❤️
Baghdad, 1258. The Mongol army is days away from burning the greatest library on Earth. Enter four time-traveling nerds with strict orders: Watch. Don’t interfere. Too bad history isn’t that simple.
Dr. Leila Nassar (a historian with family ties to the chaos) leads a crew of rebels, rule-followers, and idealists. Their mission seems simple: document the House of Wisdom’s destruction. But there is one problem: The scholars they’re supposed to coldly observe won’t stop being human!
This is just all the episodes merged into 1. Whether you wish to re-watch, or you coming here for the first time, enjoy over 35 minutes of uninterrupted Ashes of wisdom!

This contains 2 episodes merged into 1; and is the final audio related to this series (unless I decide to do season 2? Inspire me!)
PLEASE NOTE. If you haven't watched the earlier episode, don't watch this. Please watch the episodes in order at: https://audiopub.site/search?q=ashes+of+wisdom

This is the third episode in a series of 5. This episode takes place 2 days from where the last one ended. I tried experimenting with background/transitional music, which may or may not become a tradition depending on what you think. Regardless though, please comment! I'm a simple human, seeing comments as well as constructive criticism always makes my day. Enjoy!

This is the second episode in a series of 5. There are some minor glitches I discovered after rendering, but nothing that could break it for you. This is also the last episode full of exposition. Now that we got you familiar with all the main characters, later episodes will be much more interesting and full of action. Please enjoy, and don't forget to comment after you've listened!

This is the first episode in a series of 5. It starts in medias res, which might cause you some confusion. However, everything should become clearer the more episodes you watch. Constructive criticism welcome!
The upload size limit is now 500 hole megabytes. With 256 kbps opus (which is pretty much lossless--wait for audiophiles complaining in comments--) you can upload like over 4 hours. And if you use variable bitrate you can easily get that to many more hours with no quality loss.
Also uploads got much faster. Transcoding happens in the background now, so as soon as the original file finishes uploading the audio will be up. The apple users might have to wait a couple minutes for some files, for the transcoded audio to be finished because Apple decided not supporting modern industry standard formats would be nice.
DON’T ABUSE THIS unless you want me crying again but also? go nuts. break things. upload your 3am existential scream recording. idc.
Because of some no-life trolls, I paused laziness for once and implemented a feature that requires new accounts be reviewed by admins before their posts and comments are able to be viewed by the public. Thus, for any new accounts, please upload an introduction audio or comment or something so you can be seen.
Sorry for the extra bureaucracy. Blame the brain-dead morons who made this dumpster fire necessary.
Good content on Audiopub was drowning in AI-generated content lately, so I launched ai-trash.audiopub.site to deal with it. Don't worry, this isn't a total AI ban. I'm just trying to separate the low-effort stuff from the creative work.
So Basically, if you're just throwing prompts at an AI and uploading whatever it spits out, that's going to the new site. likewise for mass-produced AI uploads. But if you're using AI as a tool in your creative process, or making experimental stuff that uses AI in not overused cool ways, your content is staying on the main site.
we'll be taking a closer look at uploads. Anything that's clearly just AI output with no real human touch is heading to ai-trash. But if we can see you've put genuine effort and creativity into it, even if AI helped along the way, your content is good to stay on the main site.
This isn't about AI being bad. Notice that the new mirror is called ai-trash, not just ai. But it's about keeping some standards and not letting the site get flooded with low-effort spam.
Ai-trash.audiopub.site will be a full mirror of the main site. Your uploads there will still be playable and accessible, just not cluttering up the main feed. If one of your uploads gets moved there, it doesn't mean that was a punishment. It was just to keep the main site clean. Unless you spam... But that's a different story.
Our intrepid band of accidental heroes has glimpsed the truth behind the veil of reality. Did they create it, though?
This is a direct continuation of iteration 2, and the conclusion of this iteration and probably the entire series. I hope you've enjoyed it as I enjoyed making it!
The watch's whisper grows urgent: 'Tempus eam exspectat'. Time waits for her. But who is she, and why does time bend its own rules just for her?
This is iteration 2 of "The Pendulum's Shadow". Please be informed that this is iteration 2 of a series. It is strongly recommended that you first listen to iteration 1 if you haven't
The watch whispers its Latin warning: "Tempus neminem manet". Time waits for no one, indeed. How foolish we were to think we could make it wait, make it bend, make it bow to our will. We've seen London's fog-shrouded streets and its gleaming spires of tomorrow. We've brushed shoulders with the Ripper and the Raven, thinking we could rewrite their stories. But time... time is the true author.
This is my first ever tts skit. Feedback is appreciated
So, 100 verified users in 4 days. What?! I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. When I deployed the first version of this site 4 days ago, I was just hoping that a couple people give a shit enough to use it a bit. But here we are, with a hundred of you amazing people actually using this thing I built. Mind. Blown.
Fair warning: my voice in this audio sounds like a dying robot with a glitchy accent. But hey, I'm a dev, not a pr manager or something! Code I can do; socializing, not so much. Bear with me.
Anyway, thank you so so so much!
This is the 3rd part of my playthrough of Evidence 111. We play until the end of game!
PLEASE NOTE that the story is very extensive, with a lot of completely different paths depending on your choices, so you'll only see one path here represented by my own actions. I hope you enjoy!
