FOR THE HELL OF IT VOL. 7 NO. 7 AUDIOBOOK NARRATION – MYTHS AND MYSTERIES By Johnny Heller So you’re wondering how you can make money, become famous and not work too hard. You hop in your car, hit play on your audiobook and go for a drive. Suddenly, it hits you—Audiobooks! Those people are famous. They probably make lots of money and all they do is read a book! Hell!

Reprinted with permission: By Any Other Nerd Lance Eaton In my last post in this series on June Is Audiobook Month, I took time to celebrate the author as the foundation for any and all audiobooks. In this entry and the next entry, we are going to talk about the narrator–the life of the audiobook. I should warn you, this post is pretty much a fanboy rant about how wonderful narrators are. It will be filled with praise. The second post (next week) on narrators will have some critiques, but this post–not so much. Narrators are wonderful. They are. They take static words on a page and breathe life into …

Josh Kornbluth is a comedic monologuist, operating out of the San Francisco area. He was also the co-writer, co-director, and star of Haiku Tunnel (2003)—the office comedy that seems to bridge the gap from the film, Office Space to the TV series, The Office. This past fall, Josh Kornbluth released, Ben Franklin: Unplugged: … And Other Comic Monologues on Audible.com. I finally had an opportunity to listen to it and was so entertained, I had to stalk—I mean hunt down—I mean talk to Josh Kornbluth about his audiobook experiences.

FOR THE HELL OF IT VOL. 7 NO. 1 by Johnny Heller ON THE YEAR 2014 Many important things happened during the year. Sadly, I can’t remember a single thing without going to the internet and looking stuff up. A whole year and I’m not certain what happened without Google.
