Listened to @jean in the Incomparable “The Best of the Year 2021” episode to talk about pandemic and audio books and realized: audio books are really closer to original human tradition of story telling than paper or e-ink books. It is like we went through a technology induced detour to arrive at where we started. A bit like European cities are now re-inventing walking after decades of automobiles first

I wonder if that counts as a hot-take or not?

Jean MacDonald

It's a great take, and I'm going to share it with my fellow podcaster pals.

Jan Erik Moström

I agree with the comment about story telling (actually the walking part also)

Greg Moore

I like this hot-take. We discuss this general idea a lot at my work as a metric for knowing if we are solving the right problems. We call it, "Humans say they change but they don't."

Timo Koola

@gregmoore nice, I wish more companies had these kind of discussions a lot more (and in a lot more companies)
