Podcast: The Audiobook Reader's Review

Interesting new podcast -- The Audiobook Reader's Review. The goal is to bringing together audiobook listeners, narrators, producers and authors to discuss all-things-audiobooks!

The first installment is an interview with Prof. Matthew Rubery, a scholar who has spent the last decade writing about audiobooks! How and when did audiobooks develop? What makes a great audiobook? And how have attitudes to audiobook-listening changed over time? Is audiobook-listening a legitimate form of reading? Plus, find your next great audiobooks with reviews of three recent productions.

or on Spotify.

Thanks for this. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks over the past 15 years. I'm curious about their history and recent popularity.

I started listening in 1996 when I had a 5 hr drive every other weekend. First one I can remember as being well done was Frost the Fiddler!
