Matthew Rubery, Part 2

Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books. Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write. For this, the second of two special episodes focusing on the history of audiobooks, Red is joined by Professor Matthew Rubery. In his book, The Untold Story of The Talking Book, Prof. Rubery not only explores the origins of a form of publishing that grew from the needs of people who are blind, but also examines the relationship between the written and spoken word, and the part narrators play in that dynamic. Join Matthew and Red as they continue their journey through the technological innovations that have made audiobooks more accessible than ever, and the stigma that persists around whether listening to a book is really the same as reading one.
