“During his 1952 tour of America, while staying at the infamous Chelsea Hotel, he [Thomas] was approached by two recent graduates who believed there was a market for recorded poetry. Unable to find backers, the two women funded the project themselves, under their new company, Caedmon Audio. Thomas appeared drunk and unprepared for the reading, but over time the record became popular, and is credited with launching the audiobook industry.”
