I've had some *great* narrators: #WilWheaton, Square Kite, #AmberBenson, #BronsonPinchot, and more. I record my audiobooks with #SkyboatMedia, a brilliant studio near my place in LA. Back in August, I spent a week in their recording book - "The Tardis" - doing something I'd never tried before: I recorded a whole audiobook, with directorial supervision: #TheInternetCon: transactions.sendowl.com/products/78992826/DEA0CE12/purchase 19/

When it was done, the director - audiobook legend #GabrielleDeCuir - sat me down and said, "Look, I've never said this to an author before, but I think *you* should read *The Lost Cause*. I don't direct anyone anymore except Wil Wheaton and #LeVarBurton, but I'd direct *you* on this.." I was immensely flattered - and very nervous. Reading *The Internet Con* was one thing - the book is built around the speeches I've been giving for 20 years and I knew I could sell those lines. 20/

But *The Lost Cause* is a *novel*, with a whole cast of characters. Could I do it? Reader, I did it. I just listened to the proofs last week and: It. Came. Out. *Great*. 21/

Weak Clownfish your reading of You All Meet In A Tavern at your Google yak a few years back is the BEST reading of that scene, it conveys the weird cool future being depicted *perfectly*
