    Sep 7 2020

    Welcome to Episode 2 of You Heard It Here First. The podcast that helps you discover the best that Audible has to offer.

    Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

    We kick things off with a review from you! This week’s reviewer was so engrossed by The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Macintyre that he couldn’t get out of the car.

    Next, we can’t get enough of Shola von Reinhold’s decadent debut novel Lote which elegantly transports us to a life of luxury and relaxation. And for anyone that’s been cooped up at home our review of Alistair Humphrey’s Around the World by Bike will help you escape the monotony of being stuck indoors.

    If our recommendations aren’t doing it for you, we’re joined by two Audible Editors who share why they’re in love with The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and How To Be An Anti-Racist by Ibram X Kendi.

    And that’s not all. We explore the ordinary with Catherine Gray’s Audible Session before we turn the mic around to Phoebe who has a powerful pick for our Genre corner.

    We launch the show with a Featured Customer Review. This week’s reviewer was gripped by the out-of-this-world adventure Do You Dream Of Terra-Two? by Temi Oh.

    Next, our Featured New Release will have you breathing differently as we share all of our thoughts on Breath: The Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor. Things take a luxurious and ludicrous turn, as we review The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald narrated by Jake Gyllenhaal.

    If the above hasn’t tickled your fancy, we’re joined by two Audible Editors who rave about The Colour Purple by Alice Walker, narrated by Samira Wiley, and Fraud by David Rakoff.

    And that’s not all. We explore the term ‘mixed-race’ in Esuantsiwa Jane Goldsmith’s Audible Session before we turn the mic around to Michael who can’t wait for you to listen to his sci-fi pick for our Listener Corner.

Aggressively woke

A showcase for the many things Audible has to offer, this to me feels like an uphill listen for a number of reasons.
But first, what's good about it? Well, the format runs smoothly and allows for a range of regular features, such as featured listen, listener's corner, editor's picks and more. There's a good selection of clips. It's well produced as you would expect from Audible, with great sound quality. But...
I consider myself to be a white left winger passionately concerned about social justice issues. But it still irritates me that the editorial direction here, every week, leans heavily on race, gender and sexuality issues. This would be ok if this was a podcast on those issues. But its not. It's purportedly a review/showcase podcast. If you are a white Christian, you will be openly sneered at and told certain listens are not for you. It gives left wingers a bad name, pandering to right wing stereotypes of the left as a cancel culture, arrogant elite.
And it's often non-sensical. 'Genre corner' was changed to 'listeners corner' because genre was too hard to say, apparently. What?
To sum up, this is occasionally interesting, but overall grating, and unbalanced.
