If you like romance literature, I can name a few, but suffice to say, my favorite narrators are really great at lending each character their own tones, inflections, and cadence, while not being too disracting to listen too.
In traditional reading, you get used to the idea that (“) before a sentence indicates that what follows is said aloud by a character, and you often don’t need any context to figure out who said what. And the (”) at the end indicates that what follows isn’t said by them. Your brain hardly even notices them and yet you very rarely are reading dialogue without knowing its speaker, unless its the purpose of the author that you don’t.
Any narrator who can help convey the concept of quotation marks as seamlessly as my brain can while reading text is very appreciated in my books.
When it comes to news, I already know that very few possible events would have facts that were notable enough to change how I feel overall about the topic/event.
But, since I intentionally consume way less news than I used to, other than some Jon or John clips, I read my news.
Any fact finding I end up doing it just a hodgepodge of finding what I can through search, relying on primary sources where possible obviously.
So, when it comes to news, reddit was, and Lemmy is the place I go to be aware of events that I’d see if I watched legacy media / social media. And to just vent and maybe learn something.
I’m a title only kind of gal these days. Anything more, and I’d end up as a headline myself in short time.
