This unique mixture of music and spoken word could be the key to Spotify succeeding against strong competition from Amazon-owned Audible. The next step is presumably building a dedicated hub for audiobooks, rather than having them exist alongside podcasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Country singer-songwriter Dolly Parton collaborates with best-selling author James Patterson on a unique audio experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":90721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1867,825],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
