Great feature to get involved into the Listle content curations.

Looks great. I am trying to sign on to the creators portal, but it's not working. Any idea what's going on? Looking forward to posting some audio on ADHD and creativity in business and life.
Great idea! Just downloaded, looking forward to see how it evolves and introduces a whole new dimension of consuming audio content
I was waiting for this!! Awesome. What’s your plan for adding other types of content, like books? I use Readitfor.me but dislike the guy’s voice.
@pocketfreud Hi Jérémy! Thank you for the feedback! We've actually experimented with book summaries — the majority of users are inclined to prefer shorter-type content which keeps them engaged, but we're not ruling out longer pieces either. We've in fact been working with one particular blogger (http://blas.com/) and have a lot of his summaries up on Listle. You can listen to these if you just search for "Book Summaries" on the mobile app — the playlist should show up.
@cristinaibunea Yes! That is what I meant, summaries :) cool. Essentially with this update is it true we can add any type of audio content to Listle?
Been using Listle for months to catch news I'd otherwise never "get to". It's fantastic. Real people reading the news I want to hear. And now with the Creator platform I can put my 5 yrs of Podcasting know-how to work helping folks in my industry get their work to more listeners.
Great idea!
Thank you @nickalus_johnson_nico_ for the continuous support! We're looking forward to have you join!
@nickalus_johnson_nico_ Awesome! Looking forward to hear from you on Listle. This is actually exactly the thing we are trying to encourage with the Creators platform -- people who are passionate about a particular subject and want to share information, news and updates about that area through audio!
Listle is a fresh product, I have been using it for 2 month right now and I get to listen to clean, high-quality audio form content that would be harder to get on normal channels YouTube or Spotify. If you want to level up your listening game you should totally give Listle a try, 5 stars
Thank you, @jonathan_hunt1! Lucky to have your constant support and feedback!
I have found Listle to be impossible to put down. I'm a person who loves to have background noise on while I work/cook/clean, and Listle is the perfect amalgamation of whatever YOU are looking for. The article and sound quality is always excellent, and it's been replacing my podcast app lately, as I feel I can get so much from listening to Listle; whether it's a pop culture article, an investigative journalism piece, or something more fanciful.
I have also found that as a Voice Over Artist, having Listle as a reference point for potential clients has been a godsend. As the listens to your/the publications content is visible, you can then say to potential clients that you have had 'x' amount of listens this month, which is always an added bonus.
All in all, from both sides of the fence my experience has been smooth and pleasant. I think the team does an amazing job providing amazing content and opportunities for the author of the articles, the narrator, and of course, the listener.
@grace_morris Thank you so much for all your kind and encouraging words! It makes us so happy to know you've been getting value as a Listle user and most importantly as a creator! We are excited to be working together!
Hey everyone,
Thank you @katmanalac for hunting us! We are Listle (@cristinaibunea, @alexandru_enc, @radu_mazilu3, @marianicolae9).
We launched Listle for the first time on Product Hunt 9 months ago! Since then, we’ve grown a library of over 5000 audio articles with content ranging from daily news to stories on science, philosophy, education and much, much more. As we’re working towards fulfilling our promise — turning the most interesting stories on the Internet in audio — we’re officially launching our Creators Platform!
Whether you’re a voice actor, aspiring news anchor or broadcaster wishing to create a portfolio, or you simply want to get your voice heard and gain exposure, our platform allows you to create a profile and start uploading immediately. You can choose from our inspiration section or, better yet, publish your own audio of stories that you think are worth listening to.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding the platform to founders@listle.io.
Excited to hear your feedback!
@cristinaibunea @listle How does listle work re rights to the content? Does listle get permission from writers to create derivative works of their content?
Hi @christianbowens! We’re working with writers to create partnerships that can benefit them as much as possible — we have created an embedded player which can be added directly to their stories, on their website. We also encourage them to record the articles themselves and many are already doing so.
@cristinaibunea Cool – but could I just read an NYT article, or would I need permission? (Sorry my copyright knowledge is shaky!)
