Description

I have an idea for a podcast series that builds on last week's discussion about fiction reading, specifically exploring the difference between reading a book and listening to an audiobook. This idea (a question from my husband) reminded me of the book "The Shallows" and the impact the internet has had on learning, cognition, attention, deep thinking, etc.


So, here's part 1 of the series, which will dive deeper into these ideas.
