Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - which they claim is the world’s only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast.
On this episode... Matthew and Steve have a rummage around Audible's new 'all-you-can-read' service Audible Plus.
Is it the transformative experience for the audiobook subscription model that we've all been waiting for, or just a receptacle for audio off-cuts?
We also look forward to the impending State Visit of the man we're not afraid to call 'The Greatest Audiobook Producer of All Time': Dirk Maggs.
He's the production maestro responsible for the original 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' series and Audible's production of Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' and he'll be joining Matthew and Steve on the next episode of #AudioBookClub on 1st December.
