Seems that by being here, means that you like to get information by listening to it. You might be listening right now in your car while you're driving. Maybe you're mowing your grass, maybe you're just sitting in a room by yourself, staring at a wall. In any case, you're learning by listening. I like to do the same thing, which is why a couple weeks ago, I went looking for a new audiobook company, and I came across Libro.fm. Libro.fm is an audiobook company, which allows you to purchase your audiobooks directly from your favorite local bookstore. You can pick from more than 100,000 audiobooks including New York Times

bestsellers, recommendations for bookstores around the country, and also a playlist curated

by The Road to Now featuring our past guest. With leeroad.com, you'll get the same audiobook

at the same price as the other audiobook companies, whatever they are, but you'll be part of a much different story, one that supports community. If you're new to audiobooks, they're the perfect way to get more books into your busy life. All you need is a smartphone and the free Libro FM app. If you already love audiobooks and don't know what to listen to, check out recommendations from our podcast featuring guests including Jefferson Cowie, Douglas Brinkley. There's so many of them. You can go check it out. I made the playlist myself, and I'm really proud to do this. The best part about Libro.fm is that you literally are sponsoring your local bookstore. And if you're anything like me, you really like your local bookstore, but sometimes you want audiobooks. Well, here is the solution to the problem. Roeth to Now listeners can get a three-month audiobook membership for the price of one month. That means for just $15, you can sign up and you'll get three months with one free book. And if you're anything like me, you're going to download a giant biography of like grant or something and listen to it over the course of a month, it's all the same price, $15 a month.

How do you get that?

All you have to do is go to Libro.fm. That's L-I-B-R-O dot letter F, letter M, and enter the promo code, R-T-N at the top of the page. And they also have gifts. You can buy a gift for somebody. If you're looking for that special holiday gift, give them the gift of knowledge.

Just go to Libro.fm, enter the promo code RTM, and we thank you for listening.

Ben, we have a special episode that coincides with Martin Luther King Day.

It's not about Dr. King himself, but it is a part of the context in which he lived and worked.

Absolutely. And I got to say, this is one of those great serendipities where this was not actually

part of the plan we recorded this episode a few weeks ago or actually I did I met with with the

guest and it's a perfect episode to think about King's legacy and actually the work that we still

have left to do we like to tie a neat bow around that 1965 date. Oh, you know, we got the,
