Speaker 3 (00:08):
I am excited that you and I together are the
hosts of the new podcast Earsay the Audible and iHeart
Audiobook Club. We're both book lovers. We read them, we
write them, we narrate them.

having it read to you. I mean, come on, that's.

Amazing listening to a book. I mean that's the next level.
It's like reading with your ears exactly.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
And when you finish a great audiobook, you just want
to talk about it with someone, right, And that's when
you need a book club. No, no, not a book club,
an audio book club. And that's where we come in.

Speaker 2 (00:52):

It's considered an important novel, right, But what makes it
a fun novel? What is it about this story that's
fun to you? It's the romance it's always going to
come back to that supernatural thrillers.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I used to do this exercise when I wrote it.
I had someone read the prophecies scripts out loud to me,
and I would have my eyes closed. And so the
goal was that while I was listening, that had to
feel as though they were open, like, oh, I'm vividly
seeing it even as I'm hearing it.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
And so many more incredible stories.
