Sounds About Right: Audiobooks to Help Us Understand the World

Sounds About Right: Audiobooks to Help Us Understand the World

Sounds About Right, Audiobooks To Help Us Understand the World, is a bookclub that’s all about learning new things and challenging our perspectives. In each episode I meet with an author and discuss their book with them. The books & audiobooks will be from a range of topics including but not limited to: anthropology, cultural studies, history, geography, health, finance, education, sociology, politics, psychology and technology….essentially most of the branches of social sciences and anything which will help us have a better understanding of the world we live in and why things are the way they are.

Please don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast so you’re in the loop whenever a new episode comes out… and also connect with me on twitter and Instagram so we can keep the conversation going, I'm sociable!
