AudioFile is celebrating our 2024 Best Audiobooks by sharing conversations about the year’s best listening. Today’s episode features host Jo Reed’s conversation with AudioFile’s Robin Whitten about the joy of OLIVETTI, written by Allie Millington, and read by Christopher Gebauer and Simon Vance. This unusual listen is one of the Best Children’s and Family listening of 2024. It’s a charming story about Olivetti, a typewriter spilling his tapestry of tales in order to find his missing owner, and angsty 12-year-old Ernest, who must trust this typewriter to help him find his mother.
