For anyone who enjoys hearing or reading about other campaigns, do you prefer audio logs or journal entries? Any reason why?

I like reading campaign logs. Somehow it keeps my attention better and I can imagine what happened easier.

Audio has a few advantages over writing. Mostly that's how you can appreciate it while your eyes are otherwise occupied. Also, a really good audio reader can add something to an audio version you can't put in pure text.
Other than that, written words are just better. You can read a heck of a lot faster silently than out loud, you can search a written document for a part you want to reiterate, you can copy/paste a written document, most people have less trouble reading some occasional mistakes than hearing with some occasional unclear parts, etc.

Edit: Editing a mistake in a text is also much simpler.

Written, most people are really bad narrators/voice actors.

Written, but what else would you expect from someone who views a text based Forum?

Normally I’d vastly prefer written. So much faster and more searchable.

However, for several years I commuted and hour and a half to work, and an audio campaign log would have been fun during those drives.
