Shows are aural, visual, etc.. when driving, I listen, though the content may contain video. Love listening to all sorts of stuff in the car.

I may abuse the general term "show", and am happy to own that as well as can't be arsed to improve. To me, it is all just a show.

Ah, that makes sense, I've done that once or twice, but now I listen to audiobooks. Pretty much constantly actually, even at work. Especially at work: helps me concentrate without getting distracted. Unless something requires my absolutely full attention.

I will listen to an audiobook from time to time myself. A good reader makes for a nice experience! Thinking back, I have never referred to those as a show.

Here's a few of my favorite readers. If I don't enjoy a book, it's never because of them. And they're good enough that they're never on some of the self-published audiobooks coming through Amazon's ACX program. (don't get me wrong: there's some good stuff there, it's just hit or miss both on writer quality & narrator quality) meaning you'll often find them outside of the Amazon ecosystem as well, if you get audiobooks from somewhere other than audible.

Anyway, here they are. All very different styles, but all very good:

John Lee

William Dufris

Stefan Rudnicki

Scott Brick

In fact, if you enjoy scifi/fantasy, The Psalms of Isaak by Ken Scholes has a full cast with all of the above except for John Lee. (John Less

That series is a very thoughtful set of books, not easily placed into a nice category of high/low fantasy & doesn't romanticize feudalism societies with royalty, lords, etc being the only notable characters. That always annoys me about some types of fantasy: Taking a style of government that is brutal & freedom crushing for 99.99% of the population & focus on the lucky few who where fancy clothes and go to feasts, with a token peasant as "the chosen one".

Thanks! Much appreciated.
