One from the vault, another from the stage, and a pair of kid-friendly Originals great for any age.
A gripping, raw, and wholly sincere antidote to the head-spinning Nathan Fielder/Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything is Tyler Shultz's as-told-to Audible memoir recorded in 2020. The Theranos whistleblower has been an outspoken critic of the doc that must be seen. But his unflinching account of what unfolded at the company—and the callousness toward people's lives—deserves to be heard.
A precocious podcaster unraveling the mystery of her parents’ pending divorce discovers how much Seoul there is in her first-gen father’s soul. Featuring a murderers’ row of Korean celebrities (Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, and directed by podcast veteran Paul Bae), Moons of LA rises to the top for being both a coming-of-age story and a delightful homage to the culture and community of K-town in the late ’80s.
In this year of tradwives and divorce dramas, an audio play first performed at Audible's Minetta Lane Theatre adds another note to the state of marriage. In The Disappear, Ben (a neurotic Hamish Linklater) is a celebrated writer in the middle of a downward spiral just as his talented novelist wife (the elegant Miriam Silverman) is on a creative upswing. Stifling her own creative life to cocoon with him in upstate New York, she soon realizes his latest work is really about blowing up their lives. Linklater plays unlikable in such a likable way that you get her dilemma. And this has an ending no one sees coming.
No bother 'bout years—they drip, drip, drip away when Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet, Roo, and Rabbit—and most of all, Pooh—come out to play. How can a book so gentle and slight still fill us with such mighty delight? An Audible Original unspools the lore, making clear that the biz and birthday buzz for this silly old bear means so much more.
