Why Audible's website designer deserves life in jail

Fri Dec 5 2025

Blazing Reader,

Whoever designed Audible's author dashboard deserves life in prison where they are forced to upload three audiobooks PER DAY using the sadistic interface they created.

I'm nearing the finish line on the long-awaited Much Ado About Corona audiobook. It's currently under review with Audible.

It would have been submitted sooner, but the system they devised for uploading all 113 chapters could sure use an automation upgrade. In the age of AI writing their own novels, a task like this should take a few minutes, not an hour.

To prove I'm not exaggerating, I've made you a short behind-the-scenes demo which I think you should watch not only out of sympathy, but because it is slightly amusing, and rather educational.
