The Open Book Audio Podcast: Recent Episodes
None
Apologies for the delay in getting podcast #65 out (and the missing #64...it was recorded, but never released.) In this episode of the podcast, we'll play a sample of Invisible Ink, the latest audiobook produced by Open Book Audio, and featuring our very own Matt Armstrong. We'll also review a whole slew of titles, and we make a pretty big (and a little sad) announcement.
