    I do not intend to make any money from this podcast. It is a free audiobook for anyone to listen to and it is my hope that it will eventually evolve into a dream I have had for a while. The 500 hour audiobook. I would like to create an audiobook that is 500 hours long, totally free and available in multiple formats. The author has given permission for this recording and if you enjoyed Mother of Learning, you will likely enjoy this too.

    Each chapter is recorded live on Discord on Mondays at 20:00 BST:

Love the different take

Great beginning to the story. As an engineer I appreciate Harry's dedication to the scientific method. The narrarator does an awesome job with the characters and I feel his voice fits the story world well. Excited to see where this goes!

Better than the original series

The story is better than the original series and the narrator is as good as Stephen Fry, I can’t believe he did this for free, thanks so much!!

AWESOME!

This is neat, dude! Keep going! Haters gonna hate, but those that care don’t matter, and those that matter don’t care. It basically means that the only people that matter are the ones that like your work. You cannot create a perfect podcast, but you can make an amazing one, and that’s just what you did. Keep it up!

I love alternative universes by the way. I didn’t know what to expect, but this is definitely better than I could’ve ever imagined.

HP in an alternate universe

Characters we love, in similar settings, but living lives affected by circumstantial variances. It’s great. I just finished chapter 5. It’s well written and amusing. I’m really enjoying seeing Harry’s life play out again, with new circumstances. Thank you Eliezer!

Professional and Polished

This is one of my favorite fan fictions. Yudkowsky is a master at using a well known universe to convey the ideas of the rationalist community. Harry Potter (Evans Verres) is a flawed and interesting character. This is a beautifully narrated rendition of this story. 5 stars!

Good enough I'll keep going

Done interesting stuff some slow moving but it's episodic storytelling so I'll try more. And add words here.

Cringe narrator, terrible writing

Go ahead and try to make it through five minutes of this. If you get through without a head splitting migraine, you must be deaf. Honestly can't believe someone put this many hours into such a terrible production.

Makes you hate Harry Potter

The author provides an alternate reality for how Harry Potter grew up and makes the character completely unlikable. I listened several episodes hoping it would get better but instead you just want this version of Harry Potter to fail.
