Free Public Domain Audiobooks
I recently found the Voice Audiobook Player for Android on the google play store[1][2]. Point it to a folder and it looks in there for audiobooks, one per subfolder, and keeps track of which ones you've read and where you are in each one.
No signup, no ads (albeit maybe analytics and crash telemetry), GPL3 code, fairly minimal and keeps audiobooks away from messing up music playlists or from podcast app complexity. Haven't used it enough to give a full review, but it seems exactly what I wanted and good for Libribox book downloads.

Open source audio book player: Voice
I'm not affiliated with this project but it's really nice for playing your audio books if you've liberated them. Has a nice interface and is used as an experimental platform for new Android technologies. Just wanted to give it a shout-out if anyone is looking for an alternative audio player.

Episodes that explain Hillary Clinton and Benghazi?
There are a lot of YouTube videos that don't need visuals and work just fine as audio. On Android, I use NewPipe to download YouTube videos as audio, and then Voice to listen to it as an audiobook so that I get the same playback controls and playback speed adjustment as if it were a podcast. I added my NewPipe download folder as audiobook folder in Voice, so it automatically picks up new stuff that I download.

Audiobook Player Poll
If Voice is 90% of the way to the app you need, and it sounds like it might be, there's no harm in dropping a feature request on GitHub. I've had great luck working with open source developers in the past, and most are eager to implement new features that would make their app more attractive. You can create an issue about books in subfolders getting merged as a bug while you're at it.

What are your favorite End-to-End encrypted tools for online privacy?
For messaging I'm currently on Olvid (E2E with physical key exchange) but since it still use their servers, I'm currently testing SimpleX where I can host my own servers.

U.K. Abandons, for Now, Legislation That Would Have Banned End-to-End Encryption
If you have a mobile phone number, the domestic intelligence agency knows exactly where you are at all times and any LEO (without a warrant) can also find you. In addition, there have been numerous CCC presentations showing how insecure the global (excluding US) and (separately) US carriers are guilty of promiscuous metadata trafficking ($$) and insecure SS7 setups. As a consequence, for low $, you can go to any one of several shady websites and find the last location of almost any phone number (person unique ID) globally. There are additional varying exploitable vulnerabilities depending on the exact combination of {handset x carrier x country} to impersonate them, tap their line, reveal their exact location, and redirect their phone number through a third-party handset or even a PBX. These are more expensive and some capabilities are forbidden for all but a few selective intelligence uses.
Session (Signal fork) doesn't use phone numbers. It's pretty well-designed overall and uses an onion routing approach. It's already a superset of Signal except it doesn't use phone numbers. https://getsession.org

PS: Using regular TOR on home broadband or cloud servers is relatively risky and inefficient. Sybil attacks on it are common. And to network operators and security agencies it gives an easy "flow tag" of your uplink and exit node data traffic as automatically suspicious.
