New York Times Number One Best Selling Audiobook Narrator Releases Free Audiobooks During Stay At Home

  • Books
  • Podcast

It occurs to me that, if I were better at marketing myself, I’d be writing and sending out press releases titled, “New York Times Number One Best Selling Audiobook Narrator Releases Free Audiobooks During Stay At Home” because I’m having so much fun reading and recording these things (today, the dogs really joined in), and I want them to find as wide an audience as possible. I don’t know anyone else in my line of work who is doing this sort of thing, and I think that it’s kind of a cool thing to do. I suppose I should have a conversation with my team.

Today’s story is from 1956, and it feels like one of those 90s anthology shows, like Outer Limits or Perversions of Science. It’s a whole lot of fun.

If I may: are you listening to these things? I’m unclear on the size and enthusiasm of the audience, and I’m curious.

    I had been listening as a podcast but the last one in my feed is from 2018. I didn’t realize you were still producing them.

    I am listening! I finished Ready Player One just before quarantine started and I restarted it this morning because I enjoy your narration so much. In between I’ve been following along on SoundCloud. I’m a doctor (not on the front lines – I’ve been assigned to non-respiratory illness clinic and telehealth visits) and this whole mess has been ridiculous, but your narrations have been a bright spot in my days. Thanks for making my commute better!

    I am listening. My kids are too small and my wife doesn’t know who you (or any other actors) are. But I’m out here in the ether absorbing your noise.

    Ohhhh, this was like a Sunday afternoon matinee and I loved it! Truly uplifting and transporting (no pun intended, honestly!) in these surreal times. Thanks so much for all these audiobooks, Will. They’ve given me something to look forward to, relish in the moment and savor in the memory. Please keep them coming!

    Cool story! I could picture the situation in my mind very easily… and the ending was so powerful!

    Thank you for your great work/hobby! :–)

    I’m definitely listening and loving each episode, Wil! I’m just a little slow in listening to them all because my commute is short.
