Earbuds Over Eyeballs.

from A Stone in the Shoe Podcast Hosted by John Pebble

Fed up with the snobbery around audiobooks? Join me for a dive into why clutching your hardback might be less "traditional" than you think. I dismantle the idea that listening is 'cheating', tracing storytelling back to its ancient, vocal roots—around campfires, not Kindles. Forget Clive spluttering indignantly over his unread first edition; for tens of millennia, the human voice was the original library. If you think eyeballing text is the only 'real' reading, I say it’s time to get a grip. The campfire’s back on. Listen in. This is a public episode.
