Earsay on Stuff You Should Know

Hey, everyone. It's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart audiobook club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook Project Hail Mary, a massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science, and what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth? I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections. Is this indulgent? And I really thought about it. No. At this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there are places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me, and I left it on the mic.
