I've used Librovox, but looking for more recent technical and fiction topics. Audible seems so expensive having to pay for books in addition to a monthly membership. It would be nice if I could "browse" and listen to a lot of different types of books.

Use your public library's inventory of audiobooks for free, use the Libby app!!

I use this nearly everyday, it is excellent. If they don't have a book you want, often you can make a request that they purchase it for their collection

https://librivox.org/ -- free and open source audiobooks (won't do you any good for recent stuff, but they've got a ton of public domain books).

If you're also fine with audio drama there's a huge set of free series here:
- https://fictionpodcasts.com/
- https://modernaudiodrama.com/
- http://audio-drama.com/doku.php/start
I occasionally check them out for new series and usually follow them with an RSS feed reader.
