My favorite is “Risk Management.”

I listen to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcasts when I’m working in the yard or driving long distances. For reading, I’ve split my consumption between books and my Kindle. The Kindle is nice for trips but I can navigate print books better.

My first audio book was “Cardinal of the Kremlin”. Zero time passed until it ended in the middle of Nevada. The second half of the trip was very, very, very long.

The lady is 90 years old and mentally very sharp, but she has macular degeneration. At this point, she can plop on her couch with her dog, who is also old, lay down and listen.
Sad thing though is that her hearing is going too.

If the devise is blue-tooth capable, I highly recommend the AirPod earphones.
They are wireless. The sounds are amazing, bass to treble. The tone is very surprising. They are stereo. It’s sort of like having a hearing device in your ear and it won’t disturb others.
I love mine.
While they are $159.00, I’ve paid more for a simple single ear device in years past.
These recharge in about 15 minutes, and the little case is a recharger. It will recharge them about five times before the little case needs to be recharged.
You can use them, put them on the charger while you take a snack or bathroom break, and pick up right where you left off.

The first and so far only one was Atlas Shrugged.
I like XM148, a lot of the OTR shows are still good.

I’d love both Burke books, Connections (1) and The Day The Universe Changed if read by the author.

I do audiobooks on long solo drives. Never any other times though.
