    Audiobookish: S5E1 - THE ICE CHILDREN & THE BOOK THAT NO ONE WANTED TO READ

    Audiobookish: S5E1 - THE ICE CHILDREN & THE BOOK THAT NO ONE WANTED TO READ

    Episode Notes
    The new season of Audiobookish has just launched! You can find Audiobookish wherever you find podcasts.

    The first in our specials reviewing the books on The Week Junior Book Awards shortlist for Audiobook of the Year 2023.
    First up is The Ice Children by M.G. Leonard, as narrated by Helen Keeley and a full cast.
    At the stroke of midnight on the dawn of December, five-year-old Finn Albedo is found frozen in the city park on a pedestal of ice. The doctor says his heart is beating, but no one can wake him. Finn’s big sister, Bianca, suspects the beautiful sparkling book Finn got from the library has something to do with it all but the mysterious book has vanished and no one will listen. As more children are frozen, Bianca realises she’s running out of time. Is there a connection between the peculiar stranger wearing a top hat and the disappearing books? The search for truth hurls Bianca into a fantastical winter wonderland where all is not as it seems… Can Bianca remember her mission and find a way to save her brother and the other Ice Children before all their hearts are lost forever?
    Secondly, we have The Book That No One Wanted to Read by Richard Ayoade as narrated by Richard Ayoade, Jarvis Cocker, and Lydia Fox.
    What is it that makes YOU want to read a book? Richard Ayoade’s children’s debut gives you all the answers in a way that’s silly, funny, and thoroughly beguiling. Have you ever thought about how it feels to be a book? To be left under a whiffy pant pile or shelved, forever collecting dust? To have your pages bent backwards or your spine BROKEN? What if you don’t have a sparkly unicorn or dragon adorning your cover–who will pick you out of the bookshop then? This is the story of the sadly neglected Book That No One Wanted To Read–can its destiny change when it finally meets the right reader? Spoiler alert: yes.

    Talking about Sales with Michael Chan and Saif Khan

    Talking about Sales with Michael Chan and Saif Khan

    Episode Notes
    My guests today are Saif Khan, Associate Sales Director at Cognism, and Michael Chan, Regional Sales Manager at Universal Lubricants Ltd, about having a career in sales. We discuss how they started their careers, the skills a good salesperson needs and what is the best approach to take when talking to a prospect.

    It is a fascinating chat that highlights the importance of empathy and respect. These qualities they both agree are essential for success in sales roles. I've put links to their respective LinkedIn profiles and companies below.
