0:00.0	Welcome to Sarah's Bookshelves Live. I'm Sarah of the blog Sarah's Bookshelves. Each week, I'm
0:15.5	talking with one bookish guest about two old books they love, two new books they love, one book they don't love,
0:21.6	and one new release they're excited about. We're going to get real, and sometimes a bit
0:26.6	snarky, about all things books. If you like the show, I'd really love your support.
0:32.0	Spread the word to your reader friends, subscribe to the show, rate and review it wherever you
0:36.9	listen to podcasts, or get bonus podcast
0:40.3	episodes by supporting the podcast on Patreon. There's a link in the show notes and in my
0:45.8	Instagram bio to my Patreon page. Let's get rolling. Hey everyone, welcome to the summer 2020 book preview episode of Sarah's Bookshelves Live.
0:59.4	Today's episode is sponsored by Studio, a Swedish company known for their earphones and speakers.
1:05.0	They just launched a new model in April called Et, and that's ETT. And they are true wireless earphones with
1:14.2	active noise canceling and wireless charging. Y'all know I love listening to audiobooks and podcasts.
1:21.4	And I particularly love listening while I go on a walk over this bridge near my house that
1:27.2	happens to have a lot of traffic on it,
1:29.3	but also it has a beautiful view of the river.
1:32.2	And with my previous earphones, I could not hear my audiobooks or my podcast while I was crossing the bridge.
1:39.0	So basically I'd have to pause them until I got to the other side.
1:41.6	And it's a pretty big bridge.
1:43.3	So I was thrilled that when I
1:45.2	tried my own pair of studio earphones, that noise canceling feature enabled me to hear my
1:51.7	audiobook all the way across the bridge. Big excitement for my walk. They also stayed in my ears
1:57.3	very easily, even when I was exercising, and they were super comfortable.
2:02.5	Right now, you can get a free tote bag, cross-body pouch, and gift wrap with every purchase.
