Are you having trouble finding the time to read for pleasure? Well why not try the next best thing, with fiction podcasts! It's easy to subscribe to a podcast using iTunes services and upload them to an iPod. Or, you can download audio files and burn them to a CD to listen in the car.We highly recommend the New Yorker Fiction podcast. In this free podcast, famous authors read their favorite stories from the back catalog of the New Yorker magazine. Afterwards, they discuss the significance of these stories with the New Yorker's fiction editor.
Listen to Joyce Carol Oates read Eudora Welty’s “Where Is the Voice Coming From?” or Mary Gaitskill read Vladimir Nabokov’s “Symbols and Signs.”
These short stories and discussions are the perfect length for a commute!
