Baratun.de - The best tech essays as podcasts

I saw a tweet by @jason (https://twitter.com/Jason/status...) this morning that triggered my side-project tourette's. so I went ahead and made this. Would love to know what you think.

Great idea - I just added Baratunde's original audio version of @jason's article that inspired this as an example. Can't promise that it'll be @baratunde that reads 'em though.

So I did $5 right now, but I'd probably pay around $10 or at the maximum $15 per month. Yea upfront value would be good to see, if I saw a playlist, easy way to request, being able to sample 15 seconds of each - all that would show me the upfront value I think. My segment profile: I subscribe to Audible (for the past 4 years), approx. 3 books a month, listen to Tim Ferris's podcasts. I love reading but can't sit still. I like taking notes, code or going for a walk when I listen. Don't have time for any other podcasts, I say I will listen to a16z podcasts but rarely do. I try to keep up with key blogs (mentioned earlier), I keep saving links from Twitter to Pocket (about 2 each day) but the last time I opened the Pocket app to read was 3 months ago. So yea hope you make a business out of this; I am sure there are other segment profiles as well (9 to 5 commuters) that are the type that would pay for it.

Cool side project, @marceglon! I agree that listening to essays usually makes a lot more sense than reading them. I do it all the time in Pocket with TTS, but this is definitely more premium and hopefully it can help with discovery too :)

I have always wanted to or hoped that someone else would do this, so I really appreciate this, thank you. Signed up for the subscription, and would love a way to increase the monthly price in the future. Some feedback & some requests: - The Gumroad Subscription was a little confusing, would have loved to see a proposed playlist for the week. - Ideally less event and people based news/drama, and more ideas based essays - Everything from Ben Horowitz's Blog please, - MBA Mondays from Fred Wilson would be amazing, - Everything from Paul Graham. Thank you!
