I have been asked to circulate the following, and
am glad to do so because I read the publication,
and really like it. They do a great job of
selecting an interesting group of articles every other month.

CHOICE Magazine Listening is available for free
digital download from the Library of Congress
National Library Service for the Blind and
Physically Handicapped's BARD program.
Produced six times a year, each issue contains
unabridged works from quality publications such
as National Geographic, Smithsonian, Sports
Illustrated, and the New Yorker. The articles,
short stories, poetry and interviews are selected
from more than 100 magazines and other
periodicals. The selections are read by
professional voice talent, not synthetic text-to-speech.
Established in 1962, CHOICE Magazine Listening
is available free of charge only to people who
are blind, experiencing vision loss or have other
disabilities that limit or prevent reading
standard print. The audio anthology continues to
be released on four-track cassette tape for those
who prefer that format.
