Show Notes
Award-winning narrator Shaun Taylor-Corbett joins host Jo Reed to tell listeners about narrating Jon Hickey’s debut audiobook, BIG CHIEF, one of our picks for Best Fiction of 2025. It’s a story about a political fixer, Mitch Caddo, who must navigate both political and personal dramas, while confronting his identity as a mixed-race Anishinaabe man. Taylor-Corbett shares how he found Caddo’s voice in this audiobook, which is a unique look into tribal politics, identity, and how power is both given and taken.
