We’re elated to share the news that four Penguin Random House Audio productions received Best Spoken Word Album GRAMMY® Award nominations this morning, which include stories from Carol Burnett, Patti Smith, Elvis Costello, and John Doe!
In their recent review of Carol Burnett’s narration, the New York Times Book Review called her “a brave pioneer of prime time” who paved the way for female comedians like Amy Schumer, a fellow Spoken Word nominee this year.

Rolling Stone called Elvis Costello’s audiobook “a surprising treat…in which the author himself acts out many of his most legendary incidents, delivering spot-on impressions of Dylan and many others, and often sending up himself in the process.”
