American Cheese by Joe Berkowitz, Read by Charlie Thurston

Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

Narrator Charlie Thurston embraces the fast pace of American Cheese, an entertaining cheese-focused romp. AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff tells host Jo Reed about how Thurston’s cadence, rhythm, and ability to mimic make Joe Berkowitz’s informative audiobook special. It’s at once a cheese-centered travelogue, an appreciation of all things cheese, and a journey into the netherworld of cheese competitions. It’s a listen for anyone who wants to discover more about the American artisan cheese world.
