If you are a fan of audiobooks, you probably know Julia Whelan’s voice, but today on Bookmarked, she is speaking directly to us! The award-winning audiobook narrator, actor, and author joins us to talk about the Netflix adaptation of her novel My Oxford Year. Julia opens up about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into giving voice to other people's stories and why she’s become a powerful advocate for audiobook narrators in an industry that often leaves them underpaid and overworked.  She also shares the mission behind her new audio-first publishing company, Audiobrary, which aims to create fairer, more sustainable opportunities for narrators and authors alike.

This week, we're exploring connection and the beautiful, complicated web of relationships we build over a lifetime, with our July Reese's Book Club Author, Beck Dorey-Stein. Danielle and Beck dig into the author's own life and what caused her — after a wild ride as White House stenographer under President Obama — to upend everything and move across several states to the tundra of Maine. The convo also gets personal — for Danielle, too — when the pair talk about ambition, career, and the deep desire for a family. These themes all weave in and out of Beck's new book, Spectacular Things, which is about family, sisters, professional sports, and the question at the heart of it all: what would you give up for the person you love most?
