Donate to the Audiblegate legal fund at Geni.us/Audiblegate Romance writer, Erin Wright, is "morally allergic" to exclusive publication through Amazon and its audiobook subsidiary Audible. No-one can be a truly independent author, she asserts, when tied to such an abusive partner. Erin has walked her talk, not only pioneering the popular Facebook group, 'Wide for the Win', but finding most of her own author livelihood outside the Amazon/ Audible empire. In this episode of the Audiblegate podcast, Erin describes Amazon's lamentable track record when dealing with authors but also offers invaluable tips for those who go 'wide' with their audiobooks, including opportunities with Kobo and Chirp. And she finds much to laugh about with hosts Abdiel and William as they swap stories about heartbreak, Idaho's potato culture and finding Christmas cheer amid the gloom.

A heartfelt message from one the Audiblegate team, Abdiel LeRoy, on why he's donated. Abdiel, you are a true hero. Please donate to Audiblegate https://donorbox.org/audiblegate-legal-fund If we do nothing, Audible's stranglehold on the industry will only tighten, funded in part by overcharging authors to participate in its shell game and to take the hit for Audible's fraudulent Returns scheme. Such an opportunity to overthrow the abuses of a big-tech monopoly may never come again. This is content creators saying, "no more" to unfair big corporation tactics against little guys who have no voice. Your support will give us the volume we need to create change and rewrite our story in the future.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Audiblegate podcast series with our new presenters, WIlliam Bahl and Abdiel LeRoy. A massive tech monopoly enriching itself at suppliers' expense? We're shocked, I tell you, shocked! Well, strap yourself in. It's about to get ugly as we report from the front lines on Audible's wanton destruction of authors' and narrators' livelihoods. William is an independent narrator of more than 400 titles, and Abdiel the author of some 20 books, most of which he has also narrated as audiobooks. In this first episode of the new season, Abdiel describes why he is "livid" about Audible's predatory behavior, and he trades horror stories with William about dealing with this rapacious monopoly and monopsony! In 2020, Australian author Susan May began the Audiblegate movement to hold Audible accountable for authors’ and narrators’ losses due to their unfair listener “exchange” benefit. She leads a small, determined team who are fighting the biggest company in the world for justice. These Audiblegate podcasts take you behind the scenes of this international movement.
