Golden Voice narrator Johnny Heller is known for his varied voice, energized delivery, seemingly breathless presentation, and nuanced accents. He has more than 30 AudioFile Earphones Awards and has been a finalist for a dozen Audie Awards for his work. In his stories for young listeners, he combines childlike innocence and silliness with a debonair sophistication.
Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss Johnny Heller’s narration of Jack Reid’s history of hitchhiking, ROADSIDE AMERICANS. He narrates engagingly with a sureness of tone and plainspoken style that suits the many interesting stories, personal histories, and critiques of hitching rides. The audiobook chronicles how hitchhiking mirrors the cultural trajectory of the country from the early clean-cut days to counterculture hitchhikers to the present decline. Published by Tantor Media
