When I'm in my car, I'm listening to books, audio books, always.
I like to listen to French radio; I'm trying to learn French.
I bought a self learning record to learn Spanish. I turned it on and went to sleep; the record got stuck. The next day I could only stutter in Spanish.
I love to listen to books on tape.
Podcasts immersed me in colloquial English and put me back in the American zeitgeist.
I couldn't read. I just scraped by. My solution back then was to read classic comic books because I could figure them out from the context of the pictures. Now I listen to books on tape.
Podcast listening carries with it a faint aura of cultural snobbery, a notion that to cue up an episode is to do something highbrow and personally enriching, whether it's a history lecture broadcast from a university or an amateur talk show recorded in someone's garage.
I don't really have a lot of hobbies. I listen to a lot of spoken word. I get books on tape.
I love reading - inspirational books, leadership books, biographies. I exercise a lot and put on my audio book. Even If you would offer me a million dollars for my iPod I wouldn't give it to you, because I have some great things on it.
I really like listening to books. I listen to them at twice the speed so I can listen to more books.
I certainly don't condemn anyone who listens to audiobooks. It seems to me that any way we get good literature in our brain is worthwhile.
