Back from a long hiatus, the guys are back to discuss the future of publishing with an emphasis on the impact of audiobooks. The perfect storm for the rise in audiobooks has arisen. They are less expensive to make than ever before, easier to attain than ever before, and as time goes on there are more and more affordable options in acquiring audiobooks. But can listening to a story on your headphones rival the experience or adventuring through the pages of a book? Listen to this episode of Parallel Quest to find out what the guys think and let us know what you think as well.
