Company mission
To develop the world’s first independent e-commerce audiobook platform; using curation and design to bridge the gap between book lovers and high quality literature.
Our take
Spiracle addresses the imbalance in the audiobook industry, where algorithm-driven platforms favour mainstream genres over niche or challenging literary works. This neglects the potential of audiobooks for literary fiction and leaves independent publishers and readers without curated content options.
Positioning itself as a curator of literary audiobooks, Spiracle offers a subscription model that emphasises quality over quantity. By collaborating with independent publishers, the platform ensures that lesser-known work receives the audiobook treatment it deserves.
Through thoughtful curation and collaboration, marketing efforts, and a commitment to showcasing challenging narratives, Spiracle aims to carve out a space where literary audiobooks thrive, appealing to listeners who seek intellectual engagement and narrative depth beyond mainstream offerings.
