Also, I couldn't make the sound loud enough to be heard over the roar of my ghastly train, which makes me think it wouldn't work well on ghastly airplanes either. Audible's software interface, which allows you to select programs, could use simplification. On my maiden voyage, I thought I had set up three Keillor monologues, a chunk of Franken and some Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
