Audible, a company that produces spoken audio content including digital books, is celebrating its 10th birthday. To celebrate a decade of listening, it has curated the 100 best era-defining listens of the past 10 years, including Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, The Barefoot Investor by Scott Pape and It Burns by Marc Fennell. Â
Speaking of the power of the spoken word, Karen Appathurai-Wiggins, Head of Regional Content for Audible, APAC, tells ArtsHub, “Audio storytelling has an incredible ability to unlock vulnerability and make certain stories even more impactful. Whether it’s the anonymity and absence of a screen that can open up dialogue, like in Pat Abboud and Simon Cunich’s The Greatest Menace, or creating space and comfort to tackle often taboo topics, as Chantelle Otten does in her Sex Therapy series, it’s a medium that feels deeply personal.Â
