Book Format: Audio x Paper

Author: Lemonada Media and BBC August 15, 2024 Duration: 36:34
It’s our first literary – and marital – debate! Which is the best way to consume books: audiobooks or paper books? Essayist and critic Maris Kreizman prefers to listen to her books while comedian Josh Gondelman wants to physically hold what he’s reading. And their job today is to convince Aminatou Sow to pick their preferred format. Maris loves that audiobooks allow her to multitask and thinks the reading experience can be enhanced when an author reads their own work aloud. Josh loves being forced to only focus on the words when he’s reading a book and wants to interpret the works for himself without someone else’s performance influencing him. Aminatou must consider the arguments on both sides and declare a winner in the battle between audiobooks and paper books.   Follow Maris @mariskreizman on X and Instagram and Josh @joshgondelman on X and Instagram.   Keep up with Aminatou Sow @aminatou on Instagram and X.
