Interesting article in the Times this weekend about the different ways audiobook producers render footnotes into sound. Audiobooks from footnote-heavy authors such as David Foster Wallace sometimes use a “phone filter” for the footnotes, so that they sound like someone’s reading them on the other end of a phone.
Speaking of audiobooks, Audible—the biggest audiobook seller out there (have you seen their recent ”Don’t Read” ad campaign?)—just added another 92nd Street Y production to its catalog: Katie Couric in Conversation with Gail Saltz. No footnotes needed to be rendered, thankfully.
