Why I Choose Podcasts Over Audiobooks

This is a clip from my conversation with Ryan Alford on the Right About Now Podcast.

Tbh, I really don’t enjoy audio books

I wanted to use my time better in the car

So I started listening to audio books

But they rarely kept me interested.

It feels like the author is talking AT me..

The same way a teacher would in high school

.. And I hate high school.

I prefer to be like a fly on the wall listening to two experts go back and forth

I’ve always learned and paid attention better this way.

But also..

Real-life stories told by real people captivate me more than scripted audiobooks.

Whether commuting or relaxing, podcasts fit into my schedule effortlessly.

The authenticity and emotions in podcasts make each episode feel like a personal conversation.

Short, impactful episodes provide actionable insights without the commitment required by books.
