Audible Great Courses

Ive been listening through some audible great course lectures. Ive finished ancient mythology and ancient meso-america and am halfway through one about how to listen to and understand classical / concert music.
They are really well done, chopped up into 30 - 45 minute lectures and some of them go for 35+ hours (depending on listening speed). And the lectures are usually grouped into like 4 sections.
The classical music one has been my favorite so far, ive always enjoyed it but to have it all broken down, understand the difference in style, the difference between a fugue vs. concerto, etc. and the underlying structure if each immediately makes listening more rewarding.
When audible does 2 for 1 deals they usually have a lot of these offered up. Last time for 3 credits, i got something like 150 - 200 hours of material.
Still have the french revolution, ancient egypt and a couple more to get to.

I completed the one about the different Plagues and that one was pretty interesting

Do those have any sort of companion book you can get to go along with them or are they strictly audio?

They mention companion materials - I think they are downloadable on audible. I haven't looked at them if offered though.

If you buy them in CD, yes. Not sure about otherwise.
I’ve got a bunch of them. I like history and my favorites are Kenneth Harl’s lectures. The Era of the Crusades, the World of Byzantium, and Warriors of the Steppes were great.
