• Behind the Mic on Recent Award-Winning Audiobooks

    worth your listening time

    Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Laura Rossi highlight three recent Earphones Award-winning audiobooks. AudioFile awards Earphones to exceptional audio experiences—it’s our version of a starred review, specifically for the audiobook. Laura and Jo discuss Rachel Syme’s fun “Guide to Modern Correspondence,” SYME’S LETTER WRITER, read by the author; Curtis Sittenfeld’s short story collection SHOW DON’T TELL, performed by seven narrators including the author; and Patti Callahan Henry’s novel THE STORY SHE LEFT BEHIND, narrated by Golden Voice Julia Whelan and Theo Solomon. They share why these audiobooks won Earphones, and why they are well worth your listening time.
