Reminds me of this rather excellent Oatmeal strip (not the "Exposure$$$" one either, so he's done at least 2 great strips!) on not believing things you're told. Having our mind changed is bally challenging:

I have browsed the other books Zara has narrated on Audible and am quite enjoying this series.
Prob best described as Jane Austen + Dragons.

I’m suggesting that my teenagers start off with her ‘Time Police’ spin off.
I’m slowly getting them to read /listen to ‘Project Hail Mary’ before the film comes out (2 of 4 so far)

I read one suggestion that they would try to get 2 years out of Trump - to make it easier for Vance to run for President 2 x after (total of 10 years)

I wonder if rating the ‘purring volume’ of cats in foster care / shelters would be of use in their info
ex - Loves to play with toys, ‘talks a lot’, does not like dogs, purring volume 8/10

There is also an interview w Michael Sheen on a BBC Radio 4 program called ‘The Reunion’ - an episode devoted to reuniting Sheen & others who created a version of The Passion plays in Sheen’s hometown of Port Talbot.

Prob available as a podcast outside of the U.K.

Can I humbly suggest Jodi Taylor’s books - Zara Ramm narrating the Chronicles of St Mary’s series as well as the spin off Time police series).

Kobna Holbrook-Smith is the perfect choice for narrating Aaronovitch’s River’s of London series.

Evidently you need a business license to lease one.

I know it is not the same, but I have a zip tap in my kitchen - (serviced yearly).

I've always viewed social media as a cocktail party (same as your analogy, I guess, but indoors). Wander around, find a conversation, and if you don't like that one, wander some more until you find one you do.

& most bookstores have websites where you can shop &/or have stores up on bookshop.org. So, when I'm buying gifts for my niece & nephew who live in LA, I usually shop online from LA bookstores close to them & have the books shipped
