2 for 1 on The Great Courses audiobooks on Audible for members only

Added heat because audible 2 for 1 is a great deal, but personally I have tried a couple of these and they didn't work for me. It was probably that the topics I chose didn't lend themselves to audio only format.

I can see that being true. I've been very careful what I choose to listen to. The great thing about Audible is that you can return books you don't like and get your credit back, so you're safe trying new things (although that probably won't work on 2for1).

I've listened to about a dozen of these. I was dissatisfied with a couple but enjoyed the rest. It's always worth reading reviews on goodreads or the Great Courses website to ensure you know what you're getting. Heat from me.

I have returned items in the 2 for 1 sale in the past, no issues. Audible customer support is literally awesome

How do you get the offer - mine just says buy for 1 credit or the price, no mention of the offer?

Are you a current Audible member? The deal link should take you to the sale page, where you select the two books you want for the one credit, rather than going to the page of an individual book to order. There is an ad banner at the top of the Audible site which will take you there too.

It doesn't show on the mobile website. You need to access the full site. You must also have at least one credit to view it.

Not St Andrews, Carnoustie, Royal Birkdale, Augusta, Wentworth etc then?

Are these read by English speakers or American?

Are these read by English speakers or American?

You can listen to a sample of each before purchasing to ensure you like the narrator's voice / style.
I find the narrator (lecturer) makes a huge difference (perhaps obviously). What makes a good delivery is subjective. There are some very popular Audible narrators that I simply struggle to listen to.

What is this garbage? Science, biochemistry? Give me a course on how to have 5 kids with various baby mamas so I can get a house from the government and lots of dosh to go on holidays. THAT is career.

Thank you. I fulfil all the necessary criteria but was looking on my phone. I'll have a look on the laptop. I love this sort of thing on Audible.

Looks like you need to join/subscribe to audible to get these and that costs dosh

Well yes, I guess even authors / lecturers need to pay bills. Most of these courses contain twelve hours or more of content, which for three quid, I think is fantastic value. At a time when a shouty disc jockey, come failed Top Gear presenter gets £2.2 million a year from the state broadcaster for spouting inane drivel under their remit of 'inform, educate and entertain', it really does add up to a bit of a bargain!

That makes no sense. You pay £7.99 per month for one credit per month and right now can get two Great Courses audiobooks worth between roughly £45 - £60. Then you cancel. I haven't cancelled yet because there are always books that I find I want, including massive collections that you'd pay over £60 for, but which cost me £7.99, the price of one credit.

You use the subscription to pay for the audiobooks at a massively reduced rate. You're not tied in to anything so how is this money down the drain?

Some people pay many times that for TV subscriptions every month that contains way less useful or informative content than a book ever can. I guess it's horse-for-courses.
