We did it! 100 reviews on Spotify!

To celebrate, we are kicking off an open-source audiobook project celebrating Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy, a deathbed prose poem written at the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the birth of what is (somewhat unfortunately, but not for no reason called) the Dark Ages.
