DBS #72: Do Audiobooks Count As Reading?

We start by discussing diversity in literary magazines and how the submission process can be unfair to some authors. After that, we talk about a poll we ran which showed that the majority of people (who follow us on Twitter) consider audiobooks to be the same as reading a book. We break things down further and give our definitive opinions on the matter, factoring in things like visual impairment that doesn't allow one to read in the traditional sense, how one absorbs an audiobook compared to a written book, and how effort plays a role.  Once we settle that matter, we discuss the age-old question, book or movie? Which is better and why? We give many examples. Check out our work at www.drunkenpenwriting.com
