The stories in this audiobook collection have subjects as wide as the list of narrators is long, and the result is excellent. AudioFile’s Leslie Fine and host Jo Reed discuss how there is not a weak performance, and each narrator is perfectly suited to his or her story. “Radiolab: Singularities,” with its multiple narrators, makes great use of the audio format. Whether it’s Zachary Chastain’s outstanding dialogue in “August in the Forest,” or Nick Offerman’s ominous “Journal of Thomas Thurber,” or some other work, each title leaves a distinct emotional impression. The result is a truly transporting experience.
