Description
The Audiobook Reviews in Five Minutes podcast has already explored some of the best popular nonfiction in over 100 episodes. Hosted by Janna, we review writing style, narration, production, and the overall listening experience. We're passionate about audiobooks because they offer a unique and immersive way to experience stories and ideas. From the subtle nuances of a narrator's voice to the production values that bring ideas and concepts to life, there's so much to appreciate about a well-crafted audiobook.
If you're an audiobook lover, then you're in the right place. Whether you're into psychology or history, or you're just looking for a great topic to dive into on your daily commute, we've got you covered.
