142: Exploring Narrators

03/08/22 • 37 min

A great narrator can elevate a good story into a great audiobook, and can bring any story they read to life. The Narrated audiobook club explored a range of audiobooks narrated by four great narrators: Bahni Turpin, Caitlin Kelly, January LaVoy, and Emily Woo Zeller.

Discussion with Shachi, Mark, Lisa and Scott.
