So long, Stitcher

2023-07-05T16:44:28-05:00

Yes, it's sad but true.  As of August 29, 2023, Stitcher is no more.  Sailing off to that great podcast platform in the sky.  If you listen to The Audiobook Trail on Stitcher, FEAR NOT!  You'll be moved to Pandora...however that works.  If you ask me, you might be better off just going to Pandora [...]

Looking for a way to support Human artists?

2023-04-26T16:40:25-05:00

Generative A.I. - it's everywhere, including in audiobooks.  Machines are telling stories and making audiobooks.  Will humans have a space when the dust settles?  That's a big question, and there are a lot of people who are standing up and saying, "Yes!"  The Audiobook Trail encourages you to check out an organization called the Human [...]

John’s mic gallery

2023-04-11T13:38:17-05:00

Howdy, fellow Trail riders!  Here's a look at some examples from my mic locker that we talked about on the show: This is one of my Shure SM-58 mics – the one that hasn’t seen much action!  A super durable dynamic mic, this is a standard vocal mic for live performance.  Not [...]

A friend that I’ve never met

2023-03-24T17:42:21-05:00

Welcome to the Trail!

2023-03-13T14:57:24-05:00

There are few things as exciting to me as a new frontier...stepping out into something I've never explored, and seeing what adventure lies beyond the next bend.  This new podcast is like that.  Well, not exactly. Let me briefly explain.  I've been a full-time, pro audiobook narrator for 12 years.  Before that, I spent a [...]
