Description

There’s an interesting cultural difference between print books and audiobooks. Print books have been around for centuries and have been deeply engrained into society. Audiobooks have also been around for a while and have seen many evolutions. From talking books, to books on tape and streaming services. However, they’re also often misunderstood.  

Host Jacob Shymanski and guest Red Széll reflect on the medium of audiobooks and their significance in literature then and now. They also explore the wider practicalities of audiobooks including access, cost, listening habits and ideal settings for consumption.  

In the latter portion of the show, Jacob shines the spotlight on Marco Pasqua and his new audiobook “From Potential to Purpose: Your Guide to Authentic Connections.” 

This episode was produced by Andrika De Lanerolle. 

Audiobook Café is broadcast on AMI-audio in Canada and publishes two new podcast episodes a week on Fridays and Saturdays at 1 p.m. ET.
