Manage episode 435163481 series 2805882
Amy discusses the good and bad of audiobook narration in this weekâs bonus episode, then dives into the origins of the commercial audiobook industry. Founded in 1952, Caedmon Records was the brainchild of two young women who achieved their smash debut success by convincing Dylan Thomas to record himself reading some of his most popular work, including âA Childâs Christmas in Wales.â The recording company went on to record LPs of work by a wide array of literary stars, including Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Plath, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot and J.R.R. Tolkien, thus paving the way for todayâs burgeoning audiobook market.
