1. A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:

  • receiving a plurality of audio files from a plurality of audio file creators, wherein an individual audio file of the plurality of audio files comprises an audible version of a corresponding text-based news story;

    storing the plurality of received audio files in a tangible, non-transitory computer readable media;

    determining whether the individual audio file is acceptable for distribution to a plurality of subscribers for playback based on a computer analysis of the individual audio file, wherein determining whether the individual audio file is acceptable for distribution to a plurality of subscribers for playback based on a computer analysis of the individual audio file comprises determining whether an average volume of the individual audio file is (i) less than or equal to a maximum average volume threshold and (ii) greater than or equal to a minimum average volume threshold;

    in response to determining that the individual audio file is acceptable for distribution, approving the individual audio file for distribution;

    in response to determining that the individual audio file is not acceptable for distribution, determining whether the individual audio file that is not acceptable for distribution can be remediated;

    in response to determining that the individual audio file that is not acceptable for distribution can be remediated, remediating the individual audio file that is not acceptable for distribution;

    in response to determining that the individual audio file that is not acceptable for distribution cannot be remediated, determining whether the individual file that is not acceptable for distribution is not so flawed as to require rejection and should be reviewed by a human;

    in response to determining that the individual audio file that is not acceptable for distribution but not so flawed as to require rejection should be reviewed by a human, designating the individual audio file for review by a human;

    in response to determining that the individual audio file that is not acceptable for distribution and cannot be remediated should not be reviewed by a human, rejecting the individual audio file that is not acceptable for distribution and cannot be remediated; and

    wherein the computing system is configured to perform at least all three actions of rejecting individual audio files, remediating individual audio files, and designating individual audio files for review by a human.
