Episode 125: Behind the Scenes of Audiobooks

On today's episode: We’ve spoken in the past about the huge role audiobook producers have over the final product of a project. So many small decisions on their part come together to shape what we end up spending hours eagerly consuming. Our guest this week, Caleb Stoll, is the technical director of the audiobook program at Penguin Random House Canada. He’s involved in many of the stages of production for the audiobooks they produce out of their studios in Toronto. From the technical aspects of sound recording, engineering sessions and directing narrators, Caleb is well placed to shine some light on the behind the scenes of the audio book world.
