Santino Fontana and Stephanie Einstein lead a full-cast performance of Cara Bastone’s newest audio-first romance. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss the fun and joy of listening to one of Bastone’s romances. Robbie and Marigold are two older college students working on a group project for their psychology class exploring whether love at first sight exists. Listeners hear their lively interviews in a diner, at the zoo, even at the mall, and a full soundscape sets the scene. Fontana gleefully expresses Robbie’s flights of fancy as Einstein uses mock disapproval to illuminate Marigold’s eventual warming toward her project partner. A fun and engaging romance. Read our interview with author Cara Bastone for more on how she writes her audio-first romances.
