Summary
Prepare yourself for the ultimate multicast performance. We've gathered many of Audible's most popular narrators to bring to life some of the most extraordinary words ever written. 19 words, in fact, carefully selected and arranged alphabetically as in their original source: the 11th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. We created this enlightening journey from AUDIENCE to LITERATURE because you asked for it. You said you could listen to your favorite narrators read the phone book, bookcase assembly instructions, or a restaurant menu. With this production we've proven that a truly talented narrator can, in fact, take any work and make it extraordinary. Enjoy!

Nick Podehl - AUDIENCE
CJ Critt - BLACKBALL
Kaleo Griffith - BLACKMAIL
Katherine Kellgren - BLUNDERBUSS
Kevin Pariseau - CHAOS

I understand that this is intended as...
a light-hearted way for some popular narrators to showcase their talents together.
It was an amusing few minutes.
But it does make one think, even though the sum of knowledge is very fluid, is there not a good reason to take one most updated version and really have it read out by a huge team of good voices, taking entries in turn?
it would be a boon to those who prefer to listen than to challenge their eyes with small print.
Yes a gargantuan task, but not one that would add such a big margin to what is already done in terms of work on audiobooks.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
