I knew this was gonna be a good performance going in, and it definitely delivered. His authenticity is inspiring, and his stories are sublime; I could listen to him talk about his lifetime stories all day!

Story
In a performance that combines the personal and poetic with the literary and the lyrical, Grammy, Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe-winning artist Common spins something entirely new and bold for both his old-school fans and those new to one of hip-hop’s most essential voices. This is Bluebird Memories, part of Audible's Words + Music that blends storytelling, music, and performance to create a one-of-a-kind listening experience.

Important piece of history

A very dry document but the narrator did well to make it an easy listen. This is an important document and I'm glad audible has made it available for easy consumption.

Story
Wally Roux is a teenage genius with a big imagination and a big heart, who just moved to Savannah, GA, from Maine with his mom, who adopted him when he was an infant. In this charming and sweet solo performance, Wally investigates what is causing a number of strange events and occurrences. He explores and gets lost within space-time - an infinite, indefinable, and mysterious void that you can’t see but when you slice into it you can feel it.

Wow
Reviewed: 05-07-19
I’m only two chapters in and I want to give this book five stars already. The narration is outta this world (and so was that pun!)
This is without a doubt the best performance I’ve heard on an audiobook. I will most certainly listen to more Marc Thompson narrations in the future.
The story is off to a great start too! I can’t wait to listen to more!!

Story
On the surface, the Victorian age is one of propriety, industry, prudishness and piety. But scratch the surface and you’ll find scandal, sadism, sex, madness, malice and murder. Presented by Stephen Fry, this series delves deep into a period of time we think we know, to discover an altogether darker reality. The stories we’re told offer a different perspective on an era which underwent massive social change. As education, trade, technology and culture blossomed, why was there an undercurrent of the ‘forbidden’ festering beneath Victorian society?

.... but enjoyable nonetheless. Stephen Fry’s narration is great, some of the other actors not so much. The stories were interesting
