Our mission is simple.  We want to promote the use of audio and video educational material for personal and professional development.  What does this mean?  It means that we want to help you to see how you can turn 'dead time' (time spent commuting, exercising, doing chores, etc.) into 'learning time.'  Most of us have at least a couple of hours each day where we could be learning a foreign language, deepening our spiritual or philosophical interests or learning about any of hundreds of different subjects.  We want to help you find material that is both entertaining and educational. 

We encourage you to join us in Learning Out Loud.  Through our site we will help you discover new content and ways to incorporate audio learning into your daily life.  We invite you to check out all of the areas of our site including our catalog (with over 7,000 audio and video titles), our articles and our publisher and author resource pages.  We also invite you to participate in our community through our blog, forums, newsletter and podcast. 

LearnOutLoud.com is based in Santa Monica, California, an area of the country known for horrendous commute times.  We're just getting going and hope to offer you a whole lot more in the future.  We welcome you to contact us at any time with feedback, suggestions, business opportunities or anything else that you can think of.  We're here to serve.  Keep letting us know what we can do to help you better utilize the power of audio and video learning in your life!
