I am telling you the story.

But actually, he feels... It feels like he's brought you into his front room and just gone, I got this great story.

The passion.

Thank you very much for having me back, Jacob.

That's a fantastic quote from Frank Herbert.

And yes, very much so.

The oral tradition of storytelling, I don't think, can be overlooked.

The Iliad and the Odyssey were sung and spoken before they were ever written down.

I think we need to remember that.

And actually, as you say, celebrate it in the growth of audiobooks.

We're merely returning to the source.

Yeah, very much so.

And we've said it before, a good audiobook narrator can make a mediocre book sound fantastic.

A bad audiobook narrator can kill even the best book.

Yeah, absolutely.

And that is how we take it in.

I know two blind guys talking about

reading the word on the page but you know we both read braille you know i don't know about you but i'm as somebody who used to be able to see my fingers skate across those braille drop dots and they're actually forming the shapes of the letters and the words in my mind's eye which then is some what i'm reading to myself and i'm doing it with an internal voice

Yeah, there's a musicality about it.
