I know there are many audio distillations of the work, but I cannot absorb information by listening alone. I have been reading on my own, but I would enjoy reading along with the audio of someone reading, especially if they pause to explain certain things in a way a modern reader would understand.

I am willing to pay for a specific translation of the book if needed.

The podcast marx madness read capital vol 1 as their first book. They read it word for word and talk about it. One guy is a theory nerd and the other, at the time of recording, doesn't know anything about it. This is how i read through my first time.

The audio is not that great and the hosts are very new to recording at the time. most people I've suggested listen to it have said they can't tolerate it because of these factors.
