A lot of legal decisions in this country are made by magistrates, volunteers like you and me,

working as a team to make decisions on cases in criminal or family courts with support from legal advisors.

You don't need specific qualifications or experience. I'm an

electrician myself, but you could be anything, a teacher, a delivery driver,

unemployed. With ongoing support you will learn new skills, enjoy new challenges and help create positive

change for your community. Volunteer at I can be a Magistrate.co.uk. Okay. Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emmer Gunn Show. I am your host Emmergan Awardner and it's very lovely to be joined by you on this episode of the podcast. Thank you for tuning in.

This is one of the Christmas pods, the December

Daley's of 2019, and I get asked a lot about books, about book

recommendations, and I thought what I might do in this episode is talk

actually about great audio books. If you're listening to a podcast, in this enjoy audio books. I listen to my audio books on Audible which is a subsidiary of

Amazon and the reason I started listening to audio books is because I found

them easier to absorb them reading an actual book plus they were just sort of

easier to fit into my life.

My mind would wonder so I'd be turning the pages but not actually taking in what was written when I was

trying to sit down and read a physical book.

Whereas with the audio books I could find myself right I'll listen to this chapter while I pop to the shops and I would have absorbed it

The first book I read on audible and I say read because I deliberately bought a book that I wanted to fully absorb so I bought the

audio book and the physical book so the author could read it to me while I followed

along a bit like in school if you remember and that was Recovery by Russell Brand.

And in all seriousness, I've talked about the fact that my attention span is getting

shorter and shorter, and this technique has actually helped me stretch it and read a hell

of a lot more this year.
