We're converging on audiobooks


Podcasts, brrrrr

Audio works on the subway, on the bike, while riding a bike, cleaning the house and the big one, driving a car. To get into a situation where you can both watch and listen is much rarer.


The car is pretty much the only time I listen to non-music audio. And I don't drive enough to listen to audiobooks for the most part.


I'll listen to audiobooks while running on a treadmill but not when running outside.


In general, although transparency on current AirPods is good, I really just am not comfortable with having music or other audio playing in my ears when I'm moving around outside--and certainly not in an urban setting.
