 Richard Powers's PLAYGROUND is a 2025 Audie Award Finalist for Audiobook of the Year. We're revisiting host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff's discussion of how the six narrators' words flow forth, immersing the listener in four central characters and the minute details that comprise their respective worlds. Sections lack titles or labels, so the distinct voice of each narrator is key to distinguishing which story is which. The performances of narrators Edoardo Ballerini, Robin Siegerman, Eunice Wong, Pun Bandhu, Krys Janae, and Kevin R. Free are equally deft; in fact, there is a consistency in pace and tone that makes this complex story accessible. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hi listeners! It's Renee, and today we're doing something a little different with the feed. Now that Badlands Cola is complete (for now) we thought we would use this post-season downtime to share some really cool shows with you. Today, we're swapping feeds with a show called Give Me Away! Give Me Away is an ensemble science fiction podcast about a spaceship that crashes in the Nevada desert...and screams. The screams of thousands of extraterrestrial political prisoners uploaded into its horrific mainframe. The only way to free them... is to transfer them into the bodies of humans willing to share their minds with an alien second consciousness. But who would volunteer for that? Graham Shapiro, divorced and adrift at age 50, is one of the first to raise his hand. I don't know about you, but this is the time of year where I crave bingeable content. Hook me in the first few minutes, and then throw me a pile of episodes that I can sink my teeth into, lose an afternoon to. And...oh wow, Give Me Away is 100% that. I'm so grateful that their team reached out to me because this...might be my favourite show right now? The pacing is impeccable, there's this beautiful prickly tension that just slowly ramps up throughout, and most of all, it does the thing that I personally think the best sci fi does, which is capture your imagination with some seriously human questions like...how much of your mind, body, and soul would you give up (honestly!) to save a stranger from the outer reaches of space? Give Me Away is an expertly produced show about radical hospitality, so give their pilot episode a listen now, and then make sure you check Episode 2 out at Gideon-Media.com, or wherever you get your podcasts. Enjoy! TRANSCRIPTS: Transcripts for Give Me Away are available at www.gideon-media.com/transcripts. CREDITS: Give Me Away is written by Mac Rogers, directed by Jordana Williams, sound designed by Bart Fasbender, music composed by Adam Blau, assistant directed by Marty McGuire, and produced by Cara Ehlenfeldt.

If you like SDITE, I think you'll like Give Me Away. This audio drama imagines: what if there was such a thing as consensual body snatchers, aliens that cohabit in the minds of willing humans. What does sharing a body look like?

This queer male summer thriller of a novel will not easily leave your mind, and if you happen to find yourself in the Hamptons, you'll be questioning any handsome older man near you. At the center of the novel is Jonah Keller, an aspiring playwright who turns to Richard Shriver, a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, for mentorship and guidance. However, Richard's mentorship quickly turns romantic and passionate, but Jonah soon realizes that not all is as it seems in Richard's lush embrace. Jonah heads out to Richard's idyllic sprawling Hamptons estate, and he soon is being preyed on by gay men in Richard's circle. During the interview we explore the topics of social class, power dynamics, whether the #MeToo movement accounts for queer male abuse, and religious trauma.

Kevin R. Free narrates the latest Murderbot novella, in which nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss this much-loved sci-fi series starring a “construct made of cloned human tissue, augments, anxiety, depression, and unfocused rage,” and Free’s engaging and empathetic portrayal of this SecUnit. When a dead body shows up on Preservation Station, Murderbot enters into an uneasy partnership with station security to discover who the victim was, and why they were shot--and if it has anything to do with the sinister corporation from their past. Free creates a deeply relatable portrait of an individual struggling to find their place in an often hostile and confusing world, while also taking listeners through a fast-paced murder mystery--in space!

An outstanding cast of 87 narrators brings these essays and poems vividly to life. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss this stunning audiobook collection of essays and poems covering 400 years of African American history. Of the many incandescent narrators called upon to bring the stories to life, JD Jackson (“Upon Arrival”), Kevin R. Free (“Cotton”), January LaVoy (“Sally Hemmings”), and Robin Miles (“Marroons and Maroonage”) are masterful. Ninety entries, edited by Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, encapsulate the African American experience from 1619 to 2019, and the authors tell stories both little and well known that together give the listener a symphony of voices that bring the complex, often horrific, history of Black people in the U.S. into relief.

Click here to buy: http://adbl.co/2FDWIvr 'Adventurous, witty and compelling' Library Journal (starred review) The hugely anticipated sequel to Hank Green's #1 New York Times bestselling debut novel, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing The statutes disappeared the same way they appeared, in an instant. While they were on Earth, they caused confusion and destruction without ever lifting a finger. Well, that's not exactly true. Part of their impact was the untimely death of April May: a young woman who stumbled into their path and named them the Carls, gaining viral fame and putting herself in the middle of an avalanche of conspiracy theories. Now, the world is as confused as ever. Andy has picked up April's mantle of fame, speaking at conferences and online about the world post-Carls; Maya, ravaged by grief, begins to follow a string of mysteries that she is convinced will lead her to April; and Miranda infiltrates a new scientific operation . . . one that might have repercussions beyond anyone's comprehension. As they each get further down their own paths, a series of clues arrive - mysterious books that seem to predict the future and control the actions of their readers - which seem to suggest April may be very much alive . . . But there's a new threat. A growing force that wants to control our reality. Did the Carls ever really leave us, and what happens if they're here to stay? A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor is a bold and brilliant conclusion that asks whether anyone has the right to change the world forever. Read by Kristen Sieh, Joe Hempel, Jesse Vilinsky, Kevin R.

Listening to this National Book Award finalist is a delight. Ten African-American narrators read 10 interconnected stories with uniformly excellent performances. AudioFile’s Emily Connelly tells host Jo Reed what she loved about this middle-grade audiobook written by Jason Reynolds. In tales set after school gets out, students head home on skateboards, talk about boogers and water bears, stand up to bullies, and show up to admit when they’ve done wrong. The author himself narrates the final chapter and author’s note. With each narrator so beautifully bringing the students’ stories to life, listening is an excellent way to enjoy them.
