Do you listen to non-music media?

Hi I still have comedy vinyls I enjoy listening. I also bought some comedy CDs as well. I'm also fan of Ernest Hemigway reading his own novels.

Please share if you sometimes 'waste resources' of your precious audio system and just lay down a comedy or any spoken word record or CD to play?

Czarivey-surprised you didn't mention Cheech & Chong.Hey just pulling your chain.I have a couple hundred comedy LPs.Including Neutrino Corporation mastered by Robert Ludwig.A shelf full of Spoken Word including many poets e.g.Vachel Lindsay,Allen Ginsberg,Ezra Pound.My favorite poet on vinyl is Dylan Thomas on the previously cited Caedmon imprimatur.Also love sound effect Lps.The Elektra guide to Electronic Music gets an occaisonal spin.That one has examples of electronically generated sounds,like Ring Modulators for example.Very entertaining.Nice idea for a thread Czar.

Casey, I didn't mention any comedian, but I'm huge fan of George Carlin, Cheech Y Chong, Steve Martin, Jackie Mason and certainly Lisa Lampanelli! Can't wait to see her in Carolina Theatre in May... Holding my tickets tight!

The weekly "Le Show" from Harry Shearer. Stream it...reminds me of Firesign Theater at times, although it's more a topical political thing mostly. Well done.

I listen to Paladium concerts quite frequently off of the cable box . They improved the DAC's quite a bit on the DVR box's . Someday I'll run it through a better digital set up though .

My option is to listen audible audiobook. If you want to listen audible audiobook on any devices freely, maybe you can try to use a tool to help you convert AA/AAX to MP3. The tool for me is named Audible Audiobook Converter for Mac. You can use it to remove DRM protection and convert audible audiobook to MP3, AAC, M4A, M4B, WAV, FLAC, etc at faster speed with lossless quality.
