Audiobooks are reading, just like using an ebook reader, a bound book, an app, or any other format is still reading.
Don’t be elitist, just✨let people enjoy things✨however works best for them.
Plus, if it’s a big book and there’s a cat on your lap, it’s tiring to hold the up all the time. Or sometimes the cat lays on the book.

@bookstodon @BPariseau podcasts are just as good at giving information or telling stories as a magazine, of course!
I love podcasts, I listen to them a lot while doing chores or driving. Both informational and storytelling ones. Any recommendations??
@la_marteau @bookstodon well, I'm a big true crime junkie, but I know that's not everyone's cuppa. Top listens there are My Favorite Murder and Wicked Words. Also a fantastic combo of cold cases and amazing investigative journalism called Counterclock, and one called Your Own Backyard, which actually helped crack a case. If you like Metallica, the 10 episode podcast they did last year about the making of the Black Album was amazing.
What are your favorites?
@BPariseau @bookstodon I am on a spooky fiction kick, I’m working on “TANIS” right now. I also loved “Bubble,” it was clever and hilarious.
For nonfiction, “Sawbones” is always fun, “Hardcore History” for car trips, “Ologies” for random fun knowledge, “You’re Wrong About” is magical, I want to be Sarah Marshall when I grow up.
