Nightmares and Dreamscapes discussion

I am almost all audio books now. I use to read a lot but kinda just fell out of it. I have audible and I also use Libby. I listen to a lot of
podcast too.

I have been this way for a while now too - just lack of time to read physical books recently. I use to listen to a lot of pod casts but lately it has just been books from Audible. I keep saying I am going to try another audio service but as of yet I have not.

Makes a long car ride a lot shorter!

yes, it does!

When I reflect on my most enjoyable audiobook experience, Gone Girl consistently comes to mind.

I use Libby for 90% of my audio books and Audible for the rest that I can't find through the library. I have a long commute, with no public transit, so that's where I developed my fondness of audio books. Now I listen to them at work too, instead of music.

I'm currently listening to Stephen King's It. The narrator is Steven Weber and he is AMAZING! It is so so good!

I get all my audio books from Apple book store. It's expensive, but I like to listen to them in the car while commuting to uni, especially if I need to have them read for class or I plan on writing an essay about it.

Same. I feel like I only live in my ear buds.

I can’t listen to audiobooks at work. I can’t engage at work and engage in a storyline. I can do rereads at work but I usually am exclusively podcasts from 8 to 5 and audiobooks all the other times.

I am primarily an audio listener and audio podcast and broadcasting host and producer. Well, an audio book listener, and an international editor for a global news service. I am interesting in discussing the interrelationship of the horror and fantasy genres as podcasts, audio books, video, cinema, TV, etc, and how they interrelate with the world of nonfiction. The backstories for those books and productions are fascinating, and as a former AD&D dungeon designer and dungeon master, bring decades of experience to the discussion. Thoughts?

I do not often mention this, but 99-percent of my reading is by listening to audio books, primarily through the BARD system of the US Library of Congress service for the blind and print disabled. There are over 119,000 books in the BARD system with others in the older cartridge system. There are occasional books I use a screen reader for, and occasional audio CD/DVD, or audio-book podcast such as John Zhu’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms transliteration and abridgement of the 800,000-word classic of Chinese Literature (His YouTube version is highly recommended Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast).

As the host of Democracycast and one of three co-hosts for our upcoming podcast and Internet radio series from Democracy Watch News: Culture, Creativity, and the ARts, I am well experienced in producing audio podcasts and serving as executive producer when working with our small staff of producers and assistant producers.

I would love to hear from others interested in discussing our main theme: The convergence of nonfiction and fiction, with particular attention to the classical-TV series by Dan Curtis, Dark Shadows, and on occasion his NightStalker series and revised series. Our podcast should be teased in June and be published twice per month thereafter. Our program A Gathering of Shadows is one of three we will publish in the new series. In the meantime, we have an X Twitter Space, Deep Shadows, on the second and fourth Tuesday every month at 10 PM Eastern Time.

Oh, I see I am not the only blind contributor to this group. I recommend those of you who are or have blind friends and associates, refer them to their state library where they will find an audio service available for blind and others unable to easily read a printed book. They can receive a cartridge player, special format, through their state library in cooperation with the US Library of Congress service for the blind and print disabled. There is also an App, Bard, which allows downloads of heaps of offering from the 190,000+ offering plus others on cartridge waiting for conversion to the Bard format. I am available to answer any questions to encourage and guide folks to access a huge library of audio books.

I use audible :)

Ohhh I love all of these suggestions! ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ

I use Spotify premium (they allow 15 hours of listening to audiobooks per month), Audible, and Libby to listen to books!

I really enjoy listening to books as an artist, and a person who works full-time--not to mention the accessibility aspect of audiobooks for our visually impaired friends. I get to work on things (art, getting ready for work in the morning, chores, driving to work, etc.) while also getting in my literature ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ.

Did you know that reading vs. listening to books is almost exactly the same process in your brain?! You can read more about it here (I like this website because they provide sources/studies for reference):
