Today’s post will be something a little different. Instead of reading my words, you now get to listen to them. Is there a difference between this and if I had written it all out? Do you have a preference? An opinion on which form is better?

Well that’s what this podcast is going to be about. The three different forms of a book that you can “read”: Audiobooks, E-books and the good old regular physical books.

With me are two fun and knowledgeable students studying English at university, Shamra and Jo-yen. Together we discuss our views, opinions and personal experiences with these forms; debating the pros and cons, telling funny anecdotes, fangirling, book-name dropping, and enjoying the opportunity to talk about something we dearly love.

At the end of my podcast, I hope you found some enjoyment and gained some new insight on how books can affect, and are affected by our daily lives.

“We will speak for the books.”
…
“Like the Lorax?”
“The Lorax speaks for the trees,” I remind her.
“Books are made out of paper. Paper is made out of trees.”
“What about e-books?”
“We can speak for them too.”
“Audiobooks?”
“Audiobooks speak for themselves.” She grins. “Get it?”
