Dr. Dart, the daily five minute skill devotion, for everyone who's simply dotty about Alexa. Hey guys, today we are going to look at audible stories, it's been updated with even more stories by famous authors such as Rold Dahl, H.D. Wells, Beatrix Potter, etc.
and all read by famous narrators or famous actors like Steven Fry, David Jason, etc. So yeah, let's go to go. They're all short stories in a number of different categories. Hello, because I open audible stories.
Welcome back to audible stories. You were listening to a new class time. There are 23 minutes and 35 seconds remaining. Would you like to continue?
No, that was about someone gradually going for the story. What type of story would you like? It's good. Help.
The audible story skill lets you listen for free to short stories performed by world class narrators. You can choose among different types, for example horror, mystery, sci-fi or kids. You can also ask me for a random story. While listening, you can say we start to listen to a story from the beginning.
What would you like to do? Mystery. Here is a mystery story called the break. It's 56 minutes and 15 seconds long.
This is audible. Wow, that's loud compared to the voice. The break written by Emma Dibdun performed by Jessica Dennis. You can notice to recently guys, how media is so much louder than her speech.
It begins with an orange. A single orange precarious in a near overflowing bag of groceries, surrender to gravity and tumbles across the kitchen. Our cat stares at it unblinking, flicks out a paw to test its substance. Dad, I ask him where he.
He's frozen in place. It's nothing. But it isn't. I don't remember when I began to watch my father instead of seeing him.
I don't remember when I learned how to keep one eye on him while appearing to be ignoring him. Acting as a teenager should while quietly measuring his movements. Searching for pattern. Intriguing.
This is in the mystery category. Now you don't get to choose what you hear. You just get given a random sample and you can't say skip back or anything like that guys. It's just a play and pause scenario.
So be aware you might be in for 20 minutes, intense listening to pick up all the details, but you can resume so if I asked it to open again, it would ask me if I wanted to resume this one or if not then it could give me another random one. So yeah. There you go. Really well produced.
Audible stories. Cool. Mr. Dr.
