it's kind of understandable i would fully agree with you if this wasn't a full cast audiobook because there are so many talented actors involved producers editors directors sound designers editors that get a cut of the pie here because there's one person you disagree with you're gonna keep your money away from all those people for something that you would want to listen to anyways

I personally disagree with that.

There's definitely a question of separating the art from the artist.

But remember, there are a lot of artists involved here.

Yeah, the Harry Potter brand still has so much clout nowadays.

And there's even a TV show coming out, I think, next year.

Like, it's still raking in the money.

Another story around these new full cast audiobooks is just the fact or it's just the sheer size of the project and how Audible has been marketing it.

I don't think there's ever been an audio-only project with this much budget, with this much attention.

It's like it's a big-budget movie, only it's an audiobook.

And personally, I love seeing that sort of stuff, that people are taking it seriously, that Audible is giving creators and an IP all these resources to create this audio-only program, which just happens to be accessible for us.

There were ads during the NFL playoffs.

Yeah, not the Super Bowl.

And not to mention that Audible has been bombarding just so many digital platforms as well.

The banners on tons of websites and stuff.

It's unavoidable.

I don't know if people have been a little bit annoyed, but I love seeing an audiobook get this much attention from a big producer like Audible.

It shows that audiobooks are to be taken seriously and worth investing in, which I like because we like audiobooks.

rams thank you so much for joining me um maybe we should do another one after this series is over do a little retrospective what do you think

All right.
