• Laura Rossi and Jo Reed on Recent Earphones Award Winners

    worth your listening time

    AudioFile awards Earphones to exceptional audio experiences—it’s our version of a starred review, specifically for the audiobook. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Laura Rossi highlight three recent Earphones Award-winning audiobooks and share why they’re worth your listening time. Author/narrator Brad Meltzer’s inspiring Make Magic, based on a commencement speech he gave, is perfect for graduation season. Then it’s time to kick off the season with two summer listens. The Summer Guests by Tess Gerritsen and expertly narrated by Hillary Huber, who listeners might mistake for a full cast, is a crime thriller set on the Maine coast features retired CIA agents. And Molly Harper’s A Proposal to Die For  is an entertaining tale of wedding planning gone wrong. Amanda Ronconi’s dry delivery is a great match for the snarky dialogue.
