With all due respect to stage and screen, there's one awards show that never fails to perk up our ears: the Audies! Honoring excellence in audiobooks and spoken-word entertainment, the Audie Awards are held annually by the Audio Publishers Association (APA), which today announced its 2024 finalists. As usual, the nominations have us alternately nodding in agreement and adding way too many new listens to our TBLT list.
