      Kobna Holbrook-Smith was the narrator that taught me an audio book performance can truly enhance the books. Even though I still buy the ebooks of Ben Aaronovich’s Rivers of London books, I listen to the audio books first.

      I really enjoyed Ray Porter narrating the Bobiverse series and am looking forward to the new book and audiobook release.

      Currently listening to and really liking William Dufris narrating the Old Man’s War series.

      Of a similar vein but not exactly audiobooks, I really like the old BBC radio dramas where they have a full voice acting cast doing things like Sherlock Holmes and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

        I enjoy Ray Porter (and Bobiverse) as well!

        I’ve listened to a few full cast productions over the years. I think one of them was the BBC version of Chronicles of Narnia, really enjoyed that one. Not sure if you’ve heard of it, but there’s a site called “GraphicAudio” that create them as well, although they are pretty pricey.

          I’ll have to check them out later. Their website doesn’t like my vpn. But excluding all the superhero stuff, theres some titles listed in their wiki that I’d be interested to check out.
