Interesting but I am not sure I would know what or how to use the statistics.

Hi Larry, thanks for your comment. I have struggled to understand what stories will resonate with my readers. I have used statistics to try to build simple mental models.

Here is one example - if you think of your stories as assets, as an investor, you could use a simple four-quadrant method to look at the stories that produce revenue using these metrics. See this story:

I like it Finn. I'm afraid, though, that we're in the minority so far. I hope TTS will gain some traction.

Hi Dan, I know. I have been listening to some TTS-generated podcasts while walking my dog lately. The quality has improved significantly in just six years. These new TTS models produce high-quality speech with nuances. I have yet to analyze it thoroughly, but I can hear even the breathing sounds in the best models. It is pretty wild how quickly technology is advancing in that field.
