I Love Medium’s New Audio Feature And Here is What I Will Be Using It For —

To read long articles!

I love reading but truth be told, I can’t get my head around reading longer, ten or thirteen minutes articles.

I have a deep appreciation for long-form content. It is meaningful, value-loaded, and often backed by a personal story or experience, which makes it easier to retain and relate.

I am being brutally honest, but a lot of the time, in the hurry to read as much as I can, I often skipped the pieces that were let’s say 6, 7, or 8 or 10 minutes read.

Not anymore! I can be cooking, walking, or even laying on my bed with my eyes closed and still be connecting with fellow writers! 😅

How wonderful!
