Easy Listening: The Importance and Challenges of Audiobook Proofreading for Misophonia

Listening Is Reading: The New Audio Frontier

With the popularity and proliferation of digital devices like the iPhone and iPad, audiobooks and their close cousin, the podcast, have become uniquely convenient for those multitaskers looking to fill extra time during their commute or workout.

Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Interactive Audiobooks

I just discovered that there are choose-your-own-adventure interactive audiobooks! I’m not sure why I am just finding this out. I grew up in the eighties and nineties, and Choose Your Own Adventure books were as much a staple of my youth as big ratty bangs, too much blue eyeshadow, and oversized neon sweatshirts with shoulder pads.

The Perks of Aural Media

The thing is, I love audiobooks. I love the way my imagination thrives off the words in my ears. I love that I feel like I’m back in kindergarten at story time. I love the way many narrators create voices for the characters, or have an entire cast to read the book as though it were a play. And I love all of this about podcasts too.
