Unfortunately, things didn’t quite go according go to plan.
Matthew couldn’t quite find it in his heart to recommend that you, gentle listener spend an Audible credit on 9 hours and 59 minutes of your life on Michelle Obama’s new self-help book and instead started playing clips from Barack Obama’s ‘A Promised Land’
Coincidentally that also happens to be the audiobook that Helena bought for her father as a Christmas present last year.

On this episode:
‘The Bullet That Missed’ Book 3 of Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series of whodunnits set in idyllic retirement village Coopers Chase.
For people (like Matthew) who have read the first two books in the series, it’s the eagerly awaited return of beloved characters Joyce, Elizabeth, Ron and Ibrahim.
For people (like Steve) who are new to the seriesm it’s a chance to follow the adventures of a group of senior citizens who have taken to solving murders. Society may have cast them aside, but they are fully rounded human beings with a wealth of experience.
In our role as one of the world’s very few audiobook review and recommendation podcasts, we feel it is our duty to bring up the issue that nobody else is talking about - to mention the elephant in the room:
Changing a narrator? Three books into an audiobook series?
Is that even legal?
Please get involved in the conversation - either with your opinions on ‘The Bullet That Missed’ or if you want to recommend an audiobook for us to review by using #AudioBookClub on facebook, twitter or instagram.

On the latest episode of #AudioBookClub - the audiobook review and recommendation podcast - Steve and Matthew leave their comfort zone to discuss possibly the most punk audiobook of all time.
‘NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub’' by NOFX and Jeff Alulis is a collection of autobiographical vignettes from L.A. punk band NOFX.
When we say ‘vignettes’ we mean ‘often disturbing and even disgusting stories’
Steve and Matthew are joined by ‘friend of the show’ Shane Kendall who is responsible for recommending that we listen to this particular audiobook.
On this episode of #AudioBookClub Steve and Matt consume 'Fibber in the Heat' by Miles Jupp - an autobiographical memoir of the actor/comedian/author's attempt to blag his way into becoming a cricket journalist.
In ‘Notes from the Margin’, we’ll be asking ‘How new does an audiobook have to be to be considered worthy of recommendation by #AudioBookClub?’.

This gives Steve a chance to ask Matthew about his day job at Vision Australia Radio.
In their new ‘Notes from the Margin’ section - the bit that’s about audiobooks in general - Steve and Matthew continue their conversation about giving audiobooks as gifts and ask “Is it better to give or to receive?”

Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - the interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast.
On this episode we’ll be reviewing ‘A Book of Secrets; Finding Solace in a Stubborn World’ the latest in a series of anti-self-help books from TV mentalist Derren Brown.
On an equally philosophical but entirely different level, we’ll also be looking into the process of buying someone an audiobook as a present.
Not as tangible for either party as the gift of an old-fashioned three dimensional ‘atoms and molecules’ book, but is it satisfying - both to give and to receive.
On this episode of #AudioBookClub - no longer the world's only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast - Steve and Matthew speak to journalist and author Geoff White about his new audiobook 'The Lazarus Heist'.
The book is based on the BBC's award winning podcast series of the same name and, in both formats, Geoff tells the story of the Lazarus Group - an elite group of North Korean government-backed hackers.
This is the first time we've encountered an audiobook based on a podcast series, so we ask ourselves and Geoff what the difference between the two formats is, both for him as an author/journalist/presenter and for us as listeners.
We also touch upon the differences between working for the BBC and for a publishing company like Penguin; and Geoff reminds us that while we haven't necessarily seen many visible signs of any cyber fallout from the war in Ukraine, there is a lot of defensive effort being undertaken in places like GCHQ and Fort Meade.

Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - the world’s only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast.
On this very special episode of #AudioBookClub, Steve and Matthew speak to the man they're not afraid to call 'The Greatest Audiobook Producer In The World"
His name is Dirk Maggs and he's the man fully responsible for the conversion of Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' from the original graphic novels into the genre-redefining audiobook series we know and love.
Dirk was incredibly generous with his time and gave us insights into all the stages of the production process: writing; casting; 'pushing actors about in a studio' and (Steve's favourite part) making the squishy sound effects.
Please show your appreciation for Dirk's genius in the comments below.

Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - which they claim is the world’s only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast.
On this episode... Matthew and Steve have a rummage around Audible's new 'all-you-can-read' service Audible Plus.
Is it the transformative experience for the audiobook subscription model that we've all been waiting for, or just a receptacle for audio off-cuts?
We also look forward to the impending State Visit of the man we're not afraid to call 'The Greatest Audiobook Producer of All Time': Dirk Maggs.
He's the production maestro responsible for the original 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' series and Audible's production of Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' and he'll be joining Matthew and Steve on the next episode of #AudioBookClub on 1st December.

Steve Phillips and Matthew Layton present #AudioBookClub - the world’s only interactive audiobook review and recommendation podcast.
On this episode, Steve and Matthew discuss possibly the audiobook with the biggest production budget of all time: “The Sandman” by Neil Gaiman.
Based on Gaiman's series of graphic novels from the late 80s early 90s, this audiobook boasts a cast that numbers amongst its members some very expensive actors indeed - James McAvoy, Michael Sheen, Andy Serkis, Riz Ahmed, Sandra Dickinson....
The production is lavish - a series of immersive soundscapes that bring to life an extraordinary eleven hour blockbusting film in the movie theatre of the listener's mind.
And what does this genre-defining moment mean for the future of the audiobook as a medium?
Matthew and Steve investigate, then invite you to get involved in the conversation.
