Show Notes

Since voice is central to this gripping audio memoir by award-winning performer Billy Porter, it’s only fitting that it’s narrated by the author himself. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss Porter’s engaging narration and his own specific sound and style that he brings to telling his story. With his inimitable rasp and vocal flexibility, Porter tells of his family, childhood, and career, leading up to his eventual star turns in Broadway’s KINKY BOOTS and TV’s “Pose.” Porter repeatedly refers to his voice as both savior and weapon, but with this audiobook he proves that it's also the ideal medium for sharing his truth. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Recorded Books.
