The Audiobook Debate: Is Listening the Same as Reading?

What is your reaction when people are dismissive of audiobooks as a medium for reading? Jacob Shymanski and Ramya Amuthan pose this question to the book club and share their responses. Together they explore the importance of inclusion for people with disabilities in the reading sphere. 

Audiobook Café is broadcast on AMI-audio in Canada and publishes two new podcast episodes a week on Saturdays and Sundays.
