Curious if there's any news regarding an Audio Book release of Man, Economy, and State?

I don't know, but I would be interested in it if there is.

I haven't heard anything, and I was looking for it last night.

Assuming the Institute would grant the rights, this could totally be done on LibriVox, the free audiobook website.

JubalHarshaw:

Assuming the Institute would grant the rights, this could totally be done on LibriVox, the free audiobook website.

All of the ebooks/articles/audio are released as close as you can to a non-copyright world as you can under the Copyright Law of today (I forget which Creative Commons License the Mises Institute uses). 

You can do whatever you want with the books/articles/audio on this site, and after making your product, Jeff Tucker would probably be very happy to get it on the site.

Librivox is a great source for classical literature. I'm listening to Rosseau's Discourses right now. Both LvMi and Librivox should be proud of all the information they put out.

Good to know.  This has been on my mind for quite a while (and apparently I'm not the only one), so maybe we can make this happen.

Epic win.

I will break in the doors of hell and smash the bolts; there will be confusion of people, those above with those from the lower depths. I shall bring up the dead to eat food like the living; and the hosts of dead will outnumber the living.

There are quite a few diagrams in MES though, are the diagrams narrated or are you assumed to know what they all are?

The narrator (Jeff Riggenbach) articulates the various tables and diagrams in a convincing (albeit painstaking) manner.

For example, when discussing Jones' value scale in Chapter 2, he will say "The highest ranked good on Jones' value scale is 102 barrels of fish; his second highest, 101 barrels of fish; his third highest, a horse," etc.

It doesn't detract from the overall experience, and one can always pull up the written version, and re-read a given section and its accompanying visuals later if necessary.
