AudioFile’s Michele Cobb speaks with actor and author Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi won the 2025 Audie Award for Narration by the Author for her memoir BITS AND PIECES: My Mother, My Brother, and Me. Whoopi is also a huge audiobook fan and dedicated listener, and in her acceptance speech at the Audies gala, she thanked all of the other narrators in the room for their work. Their conversation provides insights into the story of Whoopi's family, the hardest parts of narrating, and why Whoopi thinks that audiobooks are the best thing since sliced bread.
