Our last guest of Season Two, Julia Whelan, is a writer, narrator, and actor. Her debut novel, My Oxford Year, released in 2018 and is also available as an audiobook beautifully narrated by Julia herself. Her second novel, Thank You for Listening, offers a comedic and compelling behind-the-scenes look into the world of audiobooks. Thank You for Listening is expected to release on August 2, 2022.

Today we chat with Julia about her childhood start as a storyteller, her development as a novelist, and how her training as an actor led to her career as an audiobook narrator. Julia also shares her insider knowledge of the entertainment industry.
