Playing The Palace by Paul Rudnick

November 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

October 20, 2021 Leave a Comment

Audible Originals: Call Me Maybe and What The Hex

September 27, 2021 Leave a Comment

I was hesitant about Audible Original Stories, but I’ve found they are the perfect thing to listen to while I’m cleaning or running errands because if you speed up to 1.5, you can listen to an entire story in about 2 hours. Admittedly, I don’t think it’s worth getting an Audible subscription just for theRead the Post
