The Audiobook brings history to life with this spirited and unabridged reading of The Story of the World Volume 1: Ancient Times by renowned narrator Jim Weiss. Save time by listening on the road or while preparing dinner, or let it lull the children to sleep at bedtime.

Product Overview

This spirited and unabridged reading of Susan Wise Bauer’s The Story of the World Volume 1: Ancient Times Revised Ed. brings to life the stories and records of the peoples of Ancient Times, covering the major historical events from the beginning of civilization to the fall of the Roman Empire. Read by Jim Weiss, it can be enjoyed independently, read along with the text, or used as a supplement to a traditional history curriculum.

 

Consider this: the baby is crying, raw chicken waits for you in the kitchen, and little Johnny wants you to read him the chapter about the Minoan Bull-Jumpers…again. Do you really want to hinder his thirst for history? Of course not! But dinner won’t prepare itself . . . No problem. Let Jim Weiss take it from here. He can read to your kids when you can’t!

    I’m sorry about that, strictly a technical error! I have fixed your account and disk 3 is now present and accounted for.

    I sent you an email from [email protected] as well.

      The short answer is that we are hoping all titles will be available by the end of the year, and really hoping that it will be much sooner.

      The long answer is that the files have been sent to the distributor. They will do some final reviews and then send them to numerous platforms, including Audible, Apple, and Amazon.

      Each platform then has their own approval process, which we’ve been told can take as little as ten business days or as many as sixty. We won’t get notified when the audiobooks go live, but we are pretty obsessive about checking.

    Any news on this being available on audible? I have purchased several of the Jim Weiss products on there and can’t seem to find this. I’m not interested in purchasing CDs or MP3 files so I’ll try to wait patiently! Thank you

      Not yet, I’m sorry. We are supposed to get a streaming update this month, though! (August) – fingers crossed!

    Any hope this will be on Audible soon? I bought the CDs years ago, but the technology is outdated and inconvenient.

    Suraya Smith

    How is it coming to get this on audible? In a previous comment, I saw you wrote that hopefully by the end of this year. considering this is the last day of 2022, I thought I’d inquire. When will it be available on audible? Thank you so much!

      Unfortunately, we do not have a firm date yet, but I know they are still working on it. When we have that date, we will announce on social media and in our newsletter.

    Is there anyway to purchase this via an app like audible. MP3’s are so outdated. I would love to use your curriculum to homeschool my children on the sea. But I have spent over an hour trying to research the accessibility and unfortunately it is not going to work. I can’t find any other way to contact the company.

      We’re sorry about the frustration! Yes, we are currently processing all our audiobooks to add them to services like Apple Music, Audible, etc. We hope to have them available through those companies by the end of this year.

    What is the difference between the Story of the World MP3 and The History of the Ancient World available on Audible? Are those two completely different books?
