The Audiobook Debate

The conversation kicks off with a humorous debate about audiobooks versus traditional reading, where one guest feels insulted by the preference for audiobooks. The co-hosts discuss their own reading habits and preferences, sharing personal anecdotes of how their reading has evolved over the years. One guest admits to feeling pressure to read classic literature to seem smarter, only to realize later that he struggled to understand many of those texts at a young age. This reflects a broader commentary on societal perceptions of intelligence tied to reading habits and preferences, indicating the complexities of reader identity.
