Hey everyone! I'm gearing up for the AZ-104 exam, and I find that listening to study materials while taking walks really helps me retain information. I've been using a lot of video content, but I'd love to dive into some audiobooks or podcasts focused on Azure that I can listen to without needing to look at a screen. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you thought about using NotebookLM? A buddy of mine uses it to turn documents related to his exam into a podcast format, and it sounds pretty cool! I've listened to a few episodes from it, and they turned out great!
I swear by Eleven Labs (specifically Eleven Reader). You upload your ebooks, and it reads them aloud with really natural-sounding voices. It's perfect when you want to hear your study material instead of just listening to a podcast. Let me know if you find this useful!
Check out John Saville’s content; it can work well for audio-only learning. If you're up for it, getting an X-Real device might enhance the experience!
I've actually been using NotebookLM as suggested by CloudyDay101 to convert Saville's videos into podcasts and I'm amazed at how well it's working. Will take me a while to convert the full course due to daily upload limitations but I think this is the perfect solution!
You might want to grab a YouTube Premium subscription. It lets you listen to videos in the background, so you don’t have to watch. They also have some documentation and MS Learn paths available that you could listen to, especially in Microsoft Edge.
I have YouTube Premium! My only issue is a lot of channels rely on the visual element - do you have any recommendations for channels that don't require you to look at the screen?
That's a great idea, thanks for the suggestion!
