@HairyBikers We had the pleasure of recording the audiobook of Blood, Sweat and Tyres a few years back – what a pleasure that was with the two of them. Funny and moving, and such a natural repartee and companionship. So sad to hear the news.
🎧Recording audiobook CODE NAME KINGFISHER by @lizkesslerbooks - English & bit of Dutch. A big part is the Dutch resistance which my Dutch paternal grandparents lived through. @simonschusterUK@StrathPub@AgentDaeche directed by Lizzie Davies 🎧OUT 28 September
A nice change from voice recordings! Strathmore Studios were delighted to welcome Nicki Hutchins today to record the lead line in a new arrangement of the Rebus theme.
Please write more books that you can narrate in our studios @sophyhenn ! It’s been such fun recording all the Pizazz books - we will miss eyerolls, llamas, singing hamsters and glitter!
A fab afternoon yesterday recording the exclusive introduction from @JudyMurray for her incredible debut novel #TheWildCard! 🎾🎧🎙️

Some thoughts on how much of a threat AI is for audio readers - appeared in the London Book Fair Daily yesterday, and on the PW website here: https://t.co/rYm8AMKOdk
@MagsTheObscure @WhenIsBirths 1/2 Indeed. My original draft included a comment about how most enlightened publishers had unlocked. text-to-speech in their e-books in order to ensure that those with difficulties reading printed books could access the material.
