With a long history of radio and TV experience spanning the 70s through the 90s, with the addition of full-time voiceover work, Kevin Pierce read a blog post one day near the end of 2012. The article mentioned the company ACX so he checked it out, learned the ropes, and accepted his first gig. He produced the audiobook, gained the rights and received ACX approval. Rinse repeat. He continued for the next 100 days, straight through weekends and holidays.  Kevin has not only been the voice of Spain's history, but he’s also been the voice for the military history of Iran, how to give a TED Talk, how to keep a beehive, a voodoo priest, UFO experiencers, and he's even given voice to my own Surrender the Sun series as well as many stories in the post-apocalyptic and true crime genre. Kevin is now an Audible-Approved Producer and narrator. He has produced well over 400 audiobooks; some of them are New York Times bestsellers. He's also a four-time finalist in this year's Audiobook Listener Awards for independent audiobooks.  If there is one person that came to mind immediately as best first guest of Apocalypse Queen Radio, it was Kevin Pierce. He's a staple of the post-apocalyptic genre and I'm honored he said yes! This is a copyrighted podcast owned by the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network.
