I would love to get to a place where eventually you can pay people to read the stuff.. maybe its a way to break in new freelancers.. I'd love to be able to put voice to the writers if they feel comfortable, provided of course they are paid for that extra work.

pipe dream goal obviously.. but good to put out into the air

This is backwards, I want less audio, not more.

More than once have I clicked on what seemed to be an interesting article, only to find out it was a podcast.

Also it turns out there were several useful customization options locked behind being logged in that remove a lot of the annoyances. Never knew.

This I agreed.

I am deaf so I can't listen, of course.

Absolutely love this, I tend to tab a lot of articles and reviews (weekly episodes and whatnot) so having them audibly or being able to read with the audio for better comprehension is my favorite. Please add this to "this week in" and episode reviews as well as preview guide.

I agree as well. I absolutely hate clicking on what seems like an interesting article and finding out that it is audio or video. This is not the case here though, the text version of the article aren't being removed from ANN. We're simply adding audio; so when you click on our articles, you'll get exactly what you're looking for, text.

We'll add to reviews and most columns / features in a few weeks.
We'll add to Interviews, TWIA and PG when multi-voice is available from instaread.
