  16. Whatnot Wednesday: Where, What, When We LISTEN #CFFC

    Wednesday, August 9, 2026

    Welcome, all.  September is finally here, but it still feels like August… and July… and June… and half of May.  Here, that’s how long it’s been since we had a break from the ultra-hot days.

    Daphne

    Daphne:  Yummy Human, are you complaining about the hot weather again?  Cut it out.  I’m not going to listen to it.  You’re interrupting my bath.

    Ahem…  As I was about to say, the Scoobies are helping with another installment of Dan Antion‘s “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge” (CFFC).   Dan asked the multi-part question, Where, What, and When do you LISTEN?  For our response, the Scoobies and I are going to limit this listening to audiobooks. 

    Where?

    Daphne:  Yummy Human listens to audiobooks at the kitchen table when takes her lunch break.  She likes to listen while she eats.  With audiobooks, she doesn’t have to juggle food and turn pages like with a regular book.

    Velma:  I like to have a bite while Yummy’s listening too. CHOMP! 

    But she re-listens to books at night when she’s trying to go to sleep, or back to sleep, or back-back-back to sleep.  I know she’s almost finished with book-5 “Gator Bait.”  But sometimes during the night she plays book-1, “Louisiana Longshot.”

    Ouch, Velma!  But you’re right, Scoobies.  My C-PTSD makes it difficult for me to watch, read, or listen to new stories, because I have so many triggers. I get a lot of anxiety just trying to start a new story.  So I re-enjoy things that are the watching/listening equivalent of comfort food.  A couple of my go-to listens during the night are Nathan Lowell’s “The Wizard’s Butler,” and “Stop Panic Attacks” (sleep hypnosis) by Joel Thielke.

    What

    Most of the audiobooks I’ve finished and re-finished from January 2026 to September, via Audible or YouTube. Most are re-listens.

    Daphne:  Yummy Human says she likes “cozy” books, but I think some cozies are fantasy and other kinds, not just mysteries.  I wish she’d re-listen to book-2 of Nathan Lowell’s fantasy series.  I really liked “The Wizard’s Cat.”  Or any of “The Cat Who” series by Lilian Jackson Braun.

    Daphne 2026

    All of those are worth a re-listen, Scoobies.  A lot of experts are saying that having stories read to you builds a stronger vocabulary, improves listening comprehension, and reduces stress.  It also helps develop empathy and emotional intelligence. 

    Mental and Cognitive Growth

    • Boosts active listening skills and focus.
    • Expands word knowledge beyond everyday speech.
    • Strengthens brain areas linked to visual imagery and memory.
    • Makes complex plots and ideas easier to understand.

    Emotional and Social Well-Being

    • Lowers stress and promotes relaxation.
    • Builds empathy by showing how characters feel and react.
    • Creates a safe space to explore difficult feelings.
    • Deepens personal connections and trust between the listener and the reader.
    Velma 2026-02-04

    Velma:  Okay, Yummy.  I’m snuggled down and ready to listen to a story.  But you’d better hurry up and start playing it, because I have a yen to chomp your toe.

    Thanks for visiting.   Friendly comments are welcome.  Hugs.

    ♣ ♣ ♣

    Naturally, the obligatory shameless self-promotion must be included.

    Brother Love – a Crossroad

    Strange things abound in a small 1950s town.  It’s a cozy, magic realism story, filled with mystery and music.

  28. Hot take on audiobooks: if you're not listening to fiction at around normal speed, you're missing a huge part of what makes them great: the art of storytelling. At 1.5–2x you'll follow the plot fine, but you lose the pacing, pauses, everything that makes a narrator's performance actually beautiful.

  30. I love #reading #books. Since I now live in a non-English speaking country, physical books in English are not always available. So I buy/borrow #ebooks. I end up staring at the screen too much and get headaches. As a cure, I let my phone read the ebook to me, but the voices are still a bit robotic.
    Then I found Paper2Audio with natural-sounding voices - the closest thing to a real reader I found so far. It still gets some pronunciations wrong, but in general it’s my new bookish girlfriend! 😁 Just don’t tell my wife!

    Marisa Abela, Harris Dickinson, Jessie Buckley, Toheeb Jimoh, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Will Poulter 🤩

  45. Also want to acknowledge that the way I built sync isn't original to me at all. All this refactoring started with me wanting to write something similar for Bandcamp. Then I came across the excellent BancampSync project.

    Looking at the code I thought it had a simple, elegant, and robust way to detecting duplicates. And so I copied it :)
