Hey everyone! I've made this post before - but a brief introduction.
I've made a podcast feed through substack with a load of books, a list of which can be found below. It's a free resource, and I encourage anyone to give some of these a listen. I've done this for two reasons - first, i couldn't afford many of these books and two, i found listening to an audiobook got me through the book faster, and kept my attention better, than holding one in my hand. I hope you can benefit from these works as I have. Feel free to pass the links to any community or group you're organizing/studying with.
Thanks

I've been listening to these books since your post, got through most of them. The Gotha Program is really hard to listen to with skips everywhere, but it's the Dessalines version which has this problem on their site too. But any chance of new uploads? I always prefer this feed to finding a book and making an internal audiobook.
