I think this is a great idea. As far as the relavance to hackers, there seems 
to be a significant overlap in hacker culture and Free culture (especially in 
the HPR community), so pulling from archive.org and the like seems to align 
well.

As someone who was regularly involved in the HPR Audiobook Club, I think this 
is something the podcast has been missing since its absence.  

At the end of the day if someone only wants technical discussion they can skip 
these episodes, or contribute what they feel is lacking. Just my two cents.
