MasterClass Audio-friendly Audiobooks Collection 2

MasterClass audio-friendly audiobook Collection 2 - m4b 32Kbps aac chaptered



Chris Voss - The Art of Negotiation

--- nothing missed



David Axelrod And Karl Rove - Campaign Strategy and Messaging

--- nothing missed



Hans Zimmer - Film Scoring

--- 1 minute shows him composing on his sound equipment

--- just several very brief soundtracks with movie scenes like for 10 to 15 seconds each

--- won't see some titles of soundtracks but mentions which movie

--- watch his concert Han Zimmer - Live in Prague 2017

if you really wanna hear his superb soundtrack scores



James Suckling - Wine Appreciation

--- need to see color of grapes, rocks and wine...hmm no ya don't

--- his descriptions defy descriptions it's like "cherries with berries"

so in essence it's more than adequate to know what's going on

--- see people swirling wine glasses and holding them up to their noses



Neil Degrasse Tyson - Scientific Thinking and Communication

--- not much visually at all.  

--- It's not at all like his documentary series

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014)



Paul Krugman - Economics and Society

--- a few graphs which he explains anyway and some are in the PDF



Shonda Rhimes - Writing for Television

--- maybe 8 or so tv scenes about 20 seconds each

--- this is storytelling, plot and character development not acting

so just listening to the tv scenes should more than suffice





These seven classes were not audio-friendly according to the

MasterClass app but after reviewing all video classes I thought

these qualify with the caveats listed above.

Watch the videos for the rest of the Masterclass classes.
