Episode 8: Can we please allow Audiobooks for 'real reading'?
from The Guilty Reader Podcast · host Vanshika Sharma
Audiobooks are the new 'digital books', with everyone fighting to invalidate them as 'real books' and how they don't 'count' for your reading goals. But is that really the case? In this week's episode, using a story I recently came across, I talk about: Why audiobooks are just as important as any other format How this gatekeeping behaviour is depriving you from reading more How different formats can give you different perspectives into the same content! Books I talk about in this episode: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling The Board-Game Cafe by Jennifer Place The Things You Can See, Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim
