Scriptorium is a living radio station for the world's great books. Tune a channel — Hearth, Shadows, Wonder, Nursery, or Vespers — and hear a narrated classic, always on and in sync with every other listener. Or open the Library and listen on demand, from the beginning or right where you left off. A candlelit teleprompter lights each word as it's spoken. The same continuous broadcast as scriptorium.live, computed from a shared schedule so phone, car, and TV stay on the same second.
