Looking Back at March 2015 – Our Features, News and Reviews

We were very excited to bring you our latest Narrators’ Forum in March, when we were joined by six of the best narrators in the business – Luke Daniels, Tanya Eby, Patrick Lawlor, Renee Raudman, Simon Vance, and Karen White for a hugely informative (and frequently very funny!) discussion about a number of different topics relating to audiobook production. This time around, our chosen areas for discussion didn’t focus on romance audios, although those came up during the course of the forum. But even so, there was a LOT of food for thought and hopefully, we addressed some of those things that you, our readers, have long wondered about and often asked us.

The Forum is still available to download, and you can also find the talk broken down into the different question areas HERE.

Right at the end of the month, we ran an interview with the popular author/narrator team, Molly Harper and Amanda Ronconi which was absolutely hilarious! And welcome to Amanda, our newest Narrator Friend.

As well as bringing you 23 new audiobook reviews, we ran our regular monthly picks, highlighting those audiobooks the team feels are good bets for March listening. We’re also pleased to see readers joining us for our weekly Currently Playing feature.
