Does audible actually do the audiobooks? I assumed it was the publishers. Sometimes the books i want aren’t available on audio which I listen to while working

I assumed they did. Maybe not all, to be fair, but I am pretty sure they have produced audio recordings of books in the past(?)

Maybe I'm just tripping, I dunno.

Its not that audible hires the narator themselves more like they just ways of putting writers in Touch with narrators

There are Audible originals that you can only get on their platform. Audiobook sellers like libro.fm and streamers like Storytel don’t get access to those.
