The Audie Awards were held in New York City on Thursday, May 28th. I was nominated for Best Science Fiction Audiobook as part of the cast of Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant’s epic “The Beam: Season 1,” from Podium Publishing. Podium actually took home the award for their OTHER sci-fi tale, Andy Weir’s “The Martian,” performed by my cast-mate RC Bray, and soon to be a major motion picture from director Ridley Scott and star Matt Damon this fall.

All in all, it was an amazing evening, and a real thrill to be an Audie Finalist for such an incredible project! Looking forward to seeing what comes next from the great team at Podium.

These last few months, I’ve been working with Harold Goldberg to bring his excellent book “All Your Base Are Belong To Us: How Fifty Years of Videogames Conquered Pop Culture” to audiobook form. I narrated and produced, while Harold narrates the introduction and epilogue.

The book features fascinating stories on the creation of some of the most important video games of all time, including a very rare in-depth interview with Sam Houser on the creation of his Grand Theft Auto series.

Last week was Pac-Man’s 35th anniversary, and Audible selected a few audiobooks in honor of the occasion, including Ernest Cline’s “Ready Player One” and the upcoming “Armada,” and we were honored to have “All Your Base Are Belong To Us” included in the celebration. Check it out here!

Neil Gaiman announced the 2015 Audie Award finalists for best Science Fiction audiobooks, and I was thrilled and honored to be nominated as part of the cast of The Beam: Season 1.

The Beam: Season 1 is an excellent serialized science fiction drama by Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant, masterfully adapted by Greg Lawrence at Podium Publishing, with a full cast that includes Johnny Heller, Tara Sands, Ralph Lister, Ray Chase, R. C. Bray, Jeffrey Kafer, Chris Patton, Eric Martin (that’s me!), Brian Holsopple, Rachel Fulginiti, Stephen Bowlby, and Emily Woo Zeller.

The Audie Awards will be held on May 28, 2015 in New York City.

Grandissimo was chosen by Audible to be their Daily Deal for Monday, January 26th! David G. Schwartz wrote this incredible true tale of Jay Sarno, the founder of Caesars Palace and Circus Circus (after a successful Kickstarter), and I produced and narrated the audiobook version last summer.

The audiobook continues to reach a large audience of people eager to hear the larger-than-life story of classic Las Vegas, and has received many favorable reviews. It’s a thrill and an honor to have been featured in this way on Audible.

If you haven’t already, roll the dice and check it out!
