I've been working my way through this 1950s podcast by someone named John Tolkien called 'Lord of the Rings'--it's a deep dive into this fictional world he created. Good stuff, really bingeable!
And while you’re at it, you could add some pictures. Maybe something like a grid of 6-8 pictures on each page. The dialogue could be in a bubble close to the speaker’s head.
At this point I'm just grasping for straws but imagine such an audiobook where the pictures are shown alongside with the audio. Perhaps even using 24 individual drawings per second to mimic motion. Or 30 for Americans.
What if you could influence the story by using some kind of remote? I guess you could call it a "controller"?
Oh, and then you could add a system for buying new clothes for the main character if you don’t like the default ones.
You’re a genius! This new invention is going revolutionize the whole industry.
