Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss Gabra Zackman’s warm and authoritative narration of Dr. Monica Gandhi’s guide to the COVID-19 pandemic and strategies for managing future pandemics. The audiobook is full of practical research findings and emphasizes the importance of providing harm reduction tools for any virus to make the world more equitable. Zackman’s performance is quietly persuasive, and the clarity of the writing is helped by her pure timbre, natural-sounding diction, and skill at strategic pauses to emphasize important phrases.
