  1. Nice podcast. I have been listening to audiobooks since the 1980s. Checking out a suitcase full of Cassettes from the library and using my Walkman. I would add the narrator of the Expanse Series Jefferson Mays . As for authors who do a good job reading their own books, I will add Mur Lafferty Six Wakes and Emma Newman’s Planetfall Series . Also my favorite book of 2019, A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World was read by the its author C.A. Fletcher. . Single POV books are the easiest to listen to, Time Travel books the hardest. I believe the more you listen to audio books, your brain gets molded to the task .
