Volume 145: August 8, 2021

Hello fellow Accomplice!

I’d been thinking this week’s Listening would be joyous with new Life as all featured audiobooks were youthful.

Ahhhhhh, but I forgot what it was like to be young…and like Jules here… all alone in a sometimes scary and unfair world.

Join me in celebrating the lonely yet strong and courageous spirit of the young.

And may you find something to your liking!

As always, feel free to share your favorites with me!

Or share your audiobook accomplice stories and photos!

Okay even after those rousers, Jules is choosing isolation, but only after conquering Good Dog Drake’s Bed.

I’ll leave him in peace, shall I?

Avoid Delta, and see y’all next Sunday!
