A full cast audiobook series about a young superhero team filled with snark, in-jokes, good writing, and — Okay, you sold me! You had me at the word “superhero.”
Matt Phillion has a great series going, with twists, turns and spin-offs. And, I am loving the challenge of bringing it to audio.

“The fact that [AI]’s specific output cannot be predicted by users makes [AI] different for copyright purposes than other tools used by artists.”
They were specifically talking about the art-making AI, Midjourney in this ruling, but as a precedent, what does this mea...
Cold Readings — you either love them or you hate them.
You have very little insight into the script. You don’t know how the scene is going to resolve, let alone the entire story. In a way, it can be scarier than improv because unlike improv there can be a wrong choice that you’ll need to go back a...
I have been avoiding writing about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Machine Learning (ML) in audiobooks so far, but with the changes currently underway, not talking about it is no longer an option.
We’ve seen it happen in movies, so we have expected it to come to audiobooks for quite some time: de...
An unpleasant churning feeling — that is the feeling I am left with after spending time on social media recently. That feeling is getting worse, but I don’t think the social media content is getting any more challenging per se.

...What is our bebop?
An odd sounding question that only really makes sense once you have listened to The Day The Music Stopped an episode from the podcast One Year, that I heard in my 99% Invisible feed.
It goes deep into a story of musicians dealing with technological changes that they felt w...
It’s no secret that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has started to affect the way we work as audiobook narrators. Usually, posts like this focus on how AI negatively impacts the work that we do. Here, I will talk about something positive.
Unfortunately, it has become more and more common for audioboo...
Just a walk through town after finishing up a project.
Love and War in the Jewish Quarter by Dora Levy Mossanen
This was such an amazing audiobook to work on, historical/magical fiction. That doesn’t come up very often. This one really fed my soul.
Typically, when one hears the words Jewish...
Find some silence.
Get away from the mic for a while, get some distance, some clarity.
Are you still in the moment?
I’m not sure (not usually a good sign).
Think back through the story a bit…
When do you feel it?
Okay… there it is. Yeah, you feel that?
So stop now.
Don’t try to figur...
One hundred pages, today.
Not impossible, just not typical. Definitely possible.
Up early, silently, moving through my morning routine.
Bathroom, feed the cat, make the coffee, start up the booth computer, open the windows curtains, drink the coffee, watch the sun rise…
And then, into the bo...
