Beginning in January 2026, new audio releases are narrated by Julia Whelan, an award-winning audiobook narrator and Coachella Valley resident. The New Yorker has called her “the Adele of audiobooks,” and Spotify named her its 2025 Narrator of the Year. (If you like what you hear here, you’ll love her platform, Audiobrary, for human-only storytelling.)

Earlier audio stories in the archive use AI narration.
