texmom777 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I am so disappointed. I missed the awesome Homeschool Freebie 11/11/11 audio sale. :-( Sick kids + sleep deprived mama = forgetting what day it was and missing the sale. :-) Does anyone know where I can find similar free audios/podcasts for kids/family. THANK YOU!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Does your library let you check out audio books with Overdrive? They just started this at our library and I suspect many other libraries will be offering this service. Hundreds, maybe thousands of audio books available at no charge. It's worth asking your librarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 http://www.librivox.com is one source of free audio books, mostly vintage stuff. I use it a lot. And the iTunes store is full of Podcasts - you don't have to have an iPod to access it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I do download from librivox.org at least once per week. And now that I know DD likes vintage radio shows (same ones I used to listen to as a kid), I've downloaded more from archive.org. For example, one of my favorites is Challenge of the Yukon. Here is a list of other radio shows. Did you look at storynory.com? or how about myaudioschool.com? Some are available for free, or if you pay $14.99, you can have access to all of their audiobooks. I haven't subscribed yet since I've downloaded enough from librivox to last a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amey311 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Definitely check your local library. I've heard there's a big city library (Philadelphia?) that had annual memberships for out of area people at a semi-reasonable price ($30/year?) I know it's come up here before. The itunes site has podcasts by subject and similar so you should be able to search for "kids" and the like. I've tried podcasts a couple of times and I just can't get into them like I can a regular book. Maybe I'm too social for a podcast? I don't want to listen to a conversation I can't join :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Here are a few we use, in addition to those already listed: Booksshouldbefree.com Learn Out Loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyg Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Similar to what? What did you miss? Perhaps we can direct you to something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 No worries! If you liked the look of the sale, you should check out these websites. They are very similar to the offerings in the sale, and they're free! http://www.artsreformation.com/records/ http://www.kiddierecords.com/ http://storynory.com/ Especially the first and second. They should have enough material to keep you busy for a while. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
