Glad you are in a position now to provide this access for people on the move or busy at chores like in the days of radio past. I have reduced hearing these days and it is not so easy for me, but listening to a reading of a 'bookish' script seems a different experience. It is not like listening to a story. As 'irremediably bookish' Illich pointed out in his study of the work of Hugh of St Victor, the University in the following new era of 'reading' took advantage of the printed facility of order; heading, paragraph, notes, citation, even glosses in the margin and illustration. This is not quite 'contemplatio' or participatory ‘seeing/knowing’. I turn to Ian McGilchrist thesis on the dominance of the left brain hemisphere (LH) ... and the modern addictive multi-media hijacks currently training our biological structures that perhaps lead the more gullible LH ... We deal always with lost civilisations?
