About this listen
Inspired by a recent New York Times article showing the decline of recreational reading, this week's episode is a deep dive into reading for fun and the distractions pulling us away from this beloved passtime.
A study from 2004-2023 shows a 40% decline in recreational reading. We take a look at why this might be happening, our own habits as readers, and the need to hold on to necessary skills. What does this mean for the future? Are we losing readers? Are we forgetting how much fun reading can be? Will the next generation value reading as much as past generations? There is so much to discuss and so many thoughts.
We want to hear your thoughts! Let us know what you think. Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Or send an email to thewaywewordpodcast@gmail.com
