About this listen

Hosted by comedian Tom Ballard, What’s the Story? is a new podcast from Audible. Join Tom each month as he chats with a revolving panel of fellow audiobook-worms, experts, authors and comedians to discuss our latest Editors' Extra.

As an Audible member, each month you’ll get access to one credit to use on any audiobook of your choice. You’ll also get our selected Editors’ Extra, a bonus best seller members are loving. Spanning everything from crime thrillers to personal development series to love stories, listen to the Editors’ Extra, then join Tom here on What’s the Story? as he gets stuck into the bits that made us laugh and made us cry, think and feel.

What’s the Story? is a book club, for your ears. It’s going to be fun!

No ‘bookclub’ in Feb or March 2020. It looks like they have just given up. Disappointing. I was enjoying listening to this podcast each month, it added an extra dimension to the free monthly book.

Why have they stopped?

Liked to hear their thoughts and the author interview. Thanks! Next month I think I'll pour a wine to complete the bookclub feel.

It's book club for introverts!

Tom, Meshel and I work so well together. I particularly enjoyed my jokes — Meshel had a couple of corkers about actual crime process, and Tom's Irish accent transported me to Madrid.
Loved this more please Audible. Dan
