Ep. #20 -- All Things Audiobooks & OverDrive's Audiobook SYNC Program


Listen Later

Episode Overview:

May 5th marks the start of OverDrive's AudioSYNC program so the

OverDrive team is spending this episode talking about all things
audiobooks! if you ever visit our Blue Sky Campus and walk
around the office you'll see lots of staff members with headphones
on -- there's always a good chance that they are listening to an
audiobook. It's like being paid to read! 

SYNC is a free summer audiobook program designed for teens 13

years of age and over. Each week between May 5th and August 17th,
users will be able to download two audiobooks per week and, best
part is, after the audiobooks have been downloaded, users get to
keep them! Reading in the summer can be challenging with busy
schedules and traveling plans, which can lead to a summer slump,
but with audiobooks, listeners can maintain their reading habits in
a different format. We also feature an interview with Michelle Cobb
from AudioFile magazine, OverDrive's partner in the SYNC
program.
