Interesting to read Devastatia's IndieWeb Carnival entry, which opens with an account of The Breakfast Club, the day after we saw The Holdovers. We were talking about great high school movies of the past, and of course TBC was among them (also If, The History Boys etc). As a Boomer, I wonder how those and The Holdovers (set in 1971) come across to recent generations.

Robert has a good solution to blocking text-to-speech narration in audiobooks, not a problem for me as I don't listen. But ... the 2023 roundup of Tyler Cowan's podcast said they were recording his voice for a custom text-to-speech. Might be worthwhile.

Even after a hint, which I didn’t actually need, the paucity of potential candidate was unhelpful.
