I'm not really into audio books, but I love "full cast dramatizations" and radio plays. But, yes, I guess in the car would be the place for listening to audiobooks.
@NativePortlander1970 Ran for 5 issues in the 1930s -- a crime fighter with a crew of assistants who works outside the law -- usually outdoing the FBI. The typical idle rich man who fights crime, except his POV is after he takes down the criminals he steals all of THEIR stolen money and shares it out with is crew; he gets 1/3, they divide the rest.
I understand that. There's a rate that both satisfies the listener, and does the content justice. Especially important if it's instructional material, or you're a fast reader.
Personally, a leisurely pace is fine. I like to savor a good book, whether in print or on tape. A talented narrator only adds to the experience.
I've tried that as well. Turns out I can't process a word of an audiobook or podcast while driving. I would end up playing chapter one about 15 times before giving up and returning the audiobook to the library. I'm too focused on being an alert driver.
I do think it works on road trips, as long as you are a passenger.
