I know of a YT channel, but I’d prefer not YouTube since I don’t have premium. My library (on hoopla) only has State and revolution, Capital, the communist manifesto, and some random Eugene V Debs and WEB Dubois stuff.

    They’re magnet links, so you’d need to download a torrent client like Transmission. (Downloading torrents also means you’ll be uploading parts of it while doing so, so I’d recommend using a VPN just to be safe)

        Both torrenting and using a VPN should be possible on iOS, although you should probably be careful when torrenting on a device full of proprietary software. (On the other hand, if it’s just audiobooks, it’s entirely possible that it won’t be a problem even if you’re caught doing it.) You could use something like ProtonVPN (free, and Proton has a reasonably good reputation)

        If there are audiobooks available on YouTube, I’d recommend downloading them (e.g. through another Invidious instance such as https://invidious.kavin.rocks where downloading is enabled) and listening to them locally, rather than using any proprietary YouTube app. Really, I’d recommend using Invidious (or Piped, or some other privacy-friendly alternative) when using YouTube in general
