podcasts are amazing!!! they allow me to fully immerse into the story without overwhelming me like anything visual does. It's such a relief. I cant watch anything unless im in the cinema, so im extremely happy that i can have podcasts at least.
Also . I can better recognize and understand emotions in podcasts than in books . The modulation of the voice and the fact that podcasts are written so that they would be listened, not read , makes them better than audiobooks. Books arent nearly as overwhelming as any movie or tv series, but after some time i have to put them off so that i wouldnt feel so trapped.
I still love books though, nothing can take that aways from me
