Before I start. I know there will be a flurry of keyboard warriors who flood this with negativity saying the lore is boring or Byf’s voice isn’t their cup of tea (unlikely to use those words). But I imagine those people don’t listen to Audiobooks anyway. So this probably isn’t for you.
Now that’s out the way. I think the community largely agree that when it comes down to Lore. Byf is probably the man on top of it all. There are obviously others, Myelin does a fantastic job, but Byf put so much effort in to his lore content I certainly consider him the go to. The Speaker if you like.
I was listening/watching some of his latest (10hr!!!) story content yesterday. Leading up to the final shape. And it really dawned on me that the story should really be available somewhere outside of YouTube in audio format. It’s the perfect Audiobook content to listen to and in my opinion, for that genre, Byfs voice is perfect. Articulate, clear and eloquent. Really do think Bungie should either employ him (I’m not even sure Byf would accept money) or at least authorise him to officially release the story content on to listening platforms. I’d certainly listen to it. I guess there’s nothing stopping Byf doing that himself now, maybe there is. But I’d love to see that.
Bungie, for better or worse, have often embraced and supported creative members of their community. From cookbooks to cosplay, fan art to films. Would be a great gesture

“The man on top of it all” 🤦 Dudes been wrong as much as anyone else. They are only useful for people without the time or inclination to read the lore themselves.
