The Rolling Stone’s Keith Richards and Hollywood star Johnny Depp. If that’s not a recipe for an entertaining audiobook then nothing is. Richards is recognized as one of the best guitarists in history and his memoir is as powerful as his on-stage performances.
A rollicking structure allows the music to guide the listener through this audiobook, exploring memories, musical influences, his relationship with Mick Jagger and struggles with drugs. What makes this story so powerful is the access into the emotional and mental psyche of Richards. He’s an open book in which the profane and the profound collide in equal measure. A stream of consciousness audio experience delivers a true authenticity that can’t be found elsewhere.

Beach Read is the perfect beach read. It does what is says on the tin and it does it very, very well.
A romance writer and a literary novelist spend a summer swapping their literary genres in the hopes that it will address their writer’s block. Despite their striking differences they find common ground in a modern love story that explores friendship, regret, and betrayal with startling nuance. Actress Julia Whelan navigates the hilarious and awkward moments with precise and sincere narration.

In Interior Chinatown, American writer Charles Yu tells the story of Willis Wu, a Chinese American actor stuck being cast as the stereotypical ‘Generic Asian Man’ and longing for his big break to play an exciting new role: ‘Kung Fu Guy’.
Openly mocking the casting processes of Hollywood, Yu exposes the inequalities and prejudice in the entertainment industry through the format of a TV script – a unique approach that creates a vivid motion picture tableau in the mind’s eye. This blurring of on-screen and behind-the-screen is an innovative way of tackling the complexity of racial discourse in America. The audio is expertly narrated by the child of Filipino immigrant parents, actor Joel de la Fuente.

This is the closest that you’ll get to experiencing a Hollywood blockbuster movie entirely in audio. Complex and ambitious, The Sandman takes the listener down into a deep, complicated rabbit hole of a universe, full of fantastically dark themes, violence, and fascinating characters.
Written by iconic English fantasy author Neil Gaiman, The Sandman traces its origin story to DC Comics. The groundbreaking depth of audio world-building means you hear every footstep, the whoosh of every gust of wind and the roar of every dark beast. Outstanding performances by James McAvoy, Michael Sheen, Kat Dennings, and Riz Ahmed are the icing on the cake.

The immense hype around the book was well deserved, but the audio version transcends print. With playful language and complex characters leaping through headphones and permanently into the imagination.
Narrator Simon Prebble smashes it out of the park. He is just dry enough for the Austen-esque humour to land, and just fragile enough for the strangeness and terror of magic to come through to the listener.

Dare we say the audiobook is better than the movie? Absolutely, we do. This is adventure at its sharpest and most poignant. A tribute to the complexities of humanity so well written that listeners are transported and transfixed long after the audiobooks ends.
Through O’Brian’s shockingly real descriptions of battle, squalor, and sea life you can almost feel the sea spray on your face or the listing decking under your feet. British actor Ric Jerrom captures the sly wit, irony and action packed moments perfectly. His robust accents in particular are a triumph. Get on board with this one.

Using real-life examples from people such as athletes, business leaders, and scientists, he shows the listener that even they can reach this high level of success by simply taking life changes one small step at a time.

Rarely does an audiobook come along that so thoroughly transforms the way we see our history, our world and our role in it. This is the power of Dark Emu. In his award-winning work, Aboriginal Australian author Bruce Pascoe takes the listener back to pre-colonial Australia, and reveals how indigenous culture was much more complex and advanced than most Australians were taught to believe.
In this audiobook, Pascoe’s sheer passion for his subject fascinates with science and narrative. His meticulous research provides a valuable education too often omitted from our national collective memory.

A beloved novel for more than a century, Little Women is a classic that is hard to look past. This version, narrated by an all-star cast including esteemed actress Laura Dern (who played Marmee in the recent film adaptation), gives this timeless novel another fresh breath of life.
Combining Alcott’s vibrant, true-to-life characters and vivid historical setting with Dern’s engaging performance, it’s easy to disconnect from modern life and feel like an extension of the 19th century family.

No one mixes the world of audiobooks and podcasts quite like Malcolm Gladwell. The best-selling author of The Tipping Point and Outliers returns with an audiobook that examines the often dire and extreme consequences of miscommunication and misreading people who are different from ourselves.
Diligently researched and immeasurably interesting, it includes not just Gladwell’s narration but also experts he interviewed – scientists, criminologists, psychologists – as well as re-enactments of court transcripts. It’s like attending one of the most interesting lectures of your life.

Many people weren’t ready for how moving and poignant a memoir this would be. McConaughey’s southern drawl is captivating as he shares important life lessons through his recollection of experiences, poetry, photography, prayers, and more. The idea of this audiobook emerged during his 52 days in exile in the desert, and much of his writing feels like a hazy, heat-induced dream.
A refreshing and rare glimpse inside the mind of an esteemed celebrity, Greenlights has a surprisingly wide appeal for both entertainment fans and deep thinkers alike.

One of Barack Obama’s favourite books of 2020, How Much of These Hills Is Gold is an often-overlooked star of modern fiction. This emotive audiobook earns a spot on our list by immersing you in the twilight of the American Gold Rush. It captures the arduous life of Chinese immigrants through the eyes of two sisters traversing the western wilds to find a place to bury their late father.
Flipping between different times and character perspectives, this audiobook evokes questions of belonging, family and the early formation of the American Dream. The talented voices of Catherine Ho and Joel de la Fuente blur the lines of harsh realities and intoxicating magical realism.

If journalist Michelle McNamara has finished this true crime shocker before she died, she would have been incredibly proud of the final result. Her personal story of tracking the Golden State Killer provides fresh insights beyond the usual police procedural. She combines reports, victim interviews, and conversations with online true crime communities to create a rich and detailed investigation.
But it all feels oddly haunting when you realise she wasn’t around to see her own evidence be used to bring the criminal to justice…

Story
Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

A gripping blend of family mystery, contemporary stories and the beautiful and bloody Viking tales, set against the starkly stunning landscape of Iceland. Broadcaster Richard Fidler and author Kari Gíslason are good friends. They share a deep attachment to the sagas of Iceland - the true stories of the first Viking families who settled on that remote island in the Middle Ages. These are tales of blood feuds, of dangerous women and people who are compelled to kill the ones they love the most.

Best-selling author David Gillespie turns his attention to a phenomenon that damages businesses, seeds mental disease and discomfort and can bring civilisations to the brink of implosion - the psychopath. Psychopaths are often thought of as killers and criminals, but actually 5 to 10 percent of people are probably psychopathic without ever indulging in a single criminal act. These everyday psychopaths may be charming in the early stages of relationships or employment, but, Gillespie argues, their presence in your life is at best disruptive and at worst highly dangerous.

The most advanced scientific enterprise ever mounted, Sir John Franklin’s 1845 expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage had every expectation of triumph. But for almost two years his ships, HMS Terror and Erebus, have been trapped in the Arctic ice. Supplies of fuel and food are running low. Scurvy, starvation and even madness are beginning to take their toll. And yet the real threat isn’t from the constantly shifting, alien landscape, the flesh-numbing temperatures or being crushed by the unyielding, frozen ocean. No, the real threat is far more terrifying.

This savagely beautiful novel is a story about the many forms of love and death, of war and truth, as one man comes of age, prospers, only to discover all that he has lost.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.
