Keep Calm and Trust the Science by Luke O’Neill, Read by Ruairi Conaghan

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.

Ruairi Conaghan is a great fit for telling the story of Luke O’Neill, an Irish researcher, author, and science journalist who became a media darling during the pandemic. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss Keep Calm and Trust the Science, the audiobook that makes for an intimate view into the first year of the pandemic, through the perspective of an immunologist. Conaghan narrates in his Irish accent, capturing the spirit of the author’s words as he narrates O’Neill’s diary entries from January 2020 to April 2021.
