A Late Adopter!

One habit I can’t get into is listening to podcasts. I have tried with a couple of them recently, the first I have ever listened to, but I found them quite difficult to concentrate on, even when I was interested in the subject of the podcast.

As I explained the other day, I am trying to control my screen time and one way I do that is to read. Every morning commuting into London I read rather than scrolled or listened. The printed word is, to me, far preferable to the spoken word. I tried Audible and I like the full cast editions of books on occasions, but I can’t take a story being read to me because it takes so long and I am a fast reader. I know about the speeding up options, but to me it just sounds unnatural when you do that. Also, as a reader I am in control of the pictures in my head and the sounds of the characters voices and I much prefer that.

OK, so if you are still reading this I would like you to suggest a podcast for someone like me who doesn’t really get on with the format. It could be about music, Christmas, books or any of the other things I have written about recently. I will try to give some of your suggestions a go, but no promises.
