This week on the podcast we address all the controversy and complaints around audiobooks. Jessica and Phoebe sit down to work their way through some of their experiences with audiobooks and why reading audiobooks is so important for readers of any age. From the importance of oral tradition to the what reading speed is superior. Oh and of course, there are plenty of different recommendations along the way.

We are back this week with an age-old bookish question: Have Special Editions gone too far?

It seems like every book is receiving a special edition, and is it always necessary? This week Jessica and Phoebe tackle some of the bookish trends with special editions, the inequalities within special editions, the impact of book boxes on the bookish space, and whether we should be building special edition shrines.
