Audiobooks, Instead of Podcasts
Reading Time: 2 minutesI love books, and I love podcasts. We will never get to the end of our podcast queue, but we will work towards the end of our reading lists. My reading list is 70+ books long so it would take months of effort to get through. My goal is not that ambitious.…
