'<em>Why Q Needs U: A history of our letters and how we use them</em>' was published on October 2nd, before which I undertook both its writing and its narrating as an audiobook. For this special, I've been given the first chapter of that audiobook (Chapter A) to share with you. It kicks off the story of the alphabet in Egypt, then takes you as far as the islands of Greece. The full audiobook is widely available on popular platforms like Spotify and <a href=\"https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Why-Q-Needs-U-Audiobook/B0F6PLHMBP\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">⁠Audible⁠</a>.
