Technology worship takes a turn when the dynamo demands a sacrifice. H.G. Wells, today on the

Classic Tales podcast. Welcome to this vintage episode of the Classic Tales podcast.

Thank you for listening.

The audiobook library card is moving forward nicely.

And if you'd like to see, you can go to audiobook library card.com and see how we're doing.

It will be an all-you-can-hear, streamable plan for the

classic tales. In just a few weeks, there will be a subscription that will give you on-demand

access to the whole library. The library contains dozens of novel-length titles that have

never been on the podcast. Furthermore, folks with businesses, libraries, students, what have you,

will be able, for a crazy low monthly subscription,

to give access to all of their people.

This will be a great, all-inclusive solution to your audiobook needs.

So, keep your ears peeled and check your inboxes for new developments.

I'll keep you up to date.

For those who already support us at the $10 a month rate or more,

your subscription will be automatically upgraded to the audiobook library card.
