You an also subscribe to an audio RSS feed as well.

It's completely free. The down side of that is that before each voice feed there are some musical notes and little message telling you about odio feed, and you don't get to choose a voice, but it's a minor price to pay.

It is a computer generated voice, so it can't manage the inflections of a real person reading but it's pretty good. I have yet to test it out on colloquialisms. But let's give that a try.

G'day mate.
