Recommendable

I have spent a sizeable portion of my time travelling, I enjoy this aspect of my work and it provides me with an excellent opportunity to listen to Podcasts and Audiobooks.

I would like to share with you the titles that have made the biggest difference to my time in transit. With the focus here being on audiobooks, the narration is a significant part of the experience. I get the majority of my audiobooks from Audible, although some titles are not available on Audible.co.uk.

If you consume one of my suggestions here and enjoy it, I would like to hear from you. Also, if you have any crème de la crème recommendations for me, please share.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the media I have deemed worth listening to, rather this is a collection of the titles that I have really enjoyed and would probably recommend, if you and I were sat down having a conversation about media that warrants a slice of our precious, precious time.
