Interesting scholarly sort-of-audiobook

I thought this group might be interested in this new book from the
University of Michigan Press as a somewhat different type of "audiobook".

From Charles Watkinson (copied so he knows I did this!):

=====

*ESC: Sonic Adventure in the Anthropocene*, by Jacob Smith,
https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.10120795

"ESC is a work of experimental audio-based scholarship combining sound
studies, radio history, and environmental criticism. This unique project is
a fully open access, fully digital suite of audiographic essays, presented
as a ten-part podcast series, combining spoken commentary, clips from
classic radio dramas,excerpts from films and television shows, news
reports, and the work of contemporary sound artists. A brief written essay
on the ESC website provides a helpful introduction and context for this
project."

It may seem odd to bundle a collection of podcasts as a book, but the ISBN,
ONIX, and MARC feeds get it into the library catalogs and the review and
selection process, and resulting UP imprimatur, gives this type of
experimental work some academic cred that podcasts alone still lack.

On the accessibility front, the title does also show Able Player working
well for the transcript. The scrolling had previously been clunky for us.

=====

Note that it has an introductory essay, a bibliography, and a whole bunch
of links as separate "chapters" in addition to the ten podcast chapters.
