Golden Voice narrator Jim Dale has probably brought more people to audiobooks than any other narrator. A generation grew up listening to his performances of the Harry Potter series. Jim was originally a musical comedy and dance man who performed in “Barnum” on Broadway. He brings his acting talents to his audiobook narrations, where he creates immensely imaginative and memorable character voices. He brings such energy to every audiobook he narrates, and curious listeners should explore his longform interview that was on the podcast this spring.

On today’s episode, host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss PUSS IN BOOTS, a lively audiobook musical by Neil Fishman, Harvey Edelman, and Khristine Hvam. Jim Dale helms the narration of the story, with a full cast lending spirited performances to add zest to the script and songs. This is a family listen ideal for fans of musicals, folktales, and cats.
