A Conversation with Samantha Adams

Samantha Adams is a former lawyer and self-described “audiobook addict” who has recently rediscovered her love of reading. Sam has been blind for many years, which makes her uniquely sensitive to the experience of listening to a book. Here, she talks about how she listens (the technology has certainly evolved since she started in the late '80s!) and how a good narrator can be the gateway to discovering wonderful new authors. She also opens up --- in lovely detail --- about how the audio experience can be so much richer than simply reading books in print.
