Spoken word is one of the oldest forms of entertainment in the world.
BBC Spoken Word is the largest audio publisher in the United Kingdom. We also publish poetry anthologies, the latest bestsellers read by outstanding actors, reportage, history and factual programmes. One of the best things about spoken word releases is their easy-going nature. They don't always require your undivided attention, so you can listen when you're at home, in the car or out walking. Carol Vorderman 'If you are enjoying a mild indisposition and your weary hands can scarce creep outside the duvet to hold a book, there is nothing to beat the sense of privilege you get from someone reading to you.
