Show Notes
Julia Whelan brings home the 2019 Audie Award for Best Female Narrator for her work on EDUCATED by Tara Westover — an audiobook which also won for Best Autobiography/Memoir last night. Julia truly gives an exceptional performance of this harrowing memoir. Westover was raised in rural Idaho with no schooling, no record of her birth, no access to doctors, and a father who distrusted the government. EDUCATED earned an AudioFile Earphones Award and was one of our Best Audiobooks of 2018. Published by Random House Audio.
Don’t miss our bonus interview with Julia Whelan airing this Friday, where she’ll share her perspective on narrating EDUCATED and more compelling audiobooks.
