Story
The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Story
1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the small town of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing. When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake. Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
For the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive? Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world.

Looking Ahead
Story: 4-Stars
************
This episode shifted gears towards 'coming soon' titles instead of already-released audiobooks. Beyond covering the books themselves, the hosts provide some interesting insights into how publishers present their wares, the industry buzz surrounding certain impending releases, and known narrator choices for those who make selections with that as an important criteria. Given that I listened to this episode well after these titles were actually released, it was interesting to note how the editors' choices aligned with actual critical and commercial success (spoiler: they're pretty good!).
What I appreciated most about this episode is that there seemed to be a concerted effort to expand genre coverage significantly. While the hosts are clearly more comfortable speaking to their passions (aren't we all?), covering things like a fantasy novel and an academic religious title is a welcome bit of diversity.
Performance: 3-Stars
*******************
The hosts continue to improve the rhythm and pace of the show. There's a clear agenda that keeps the episode from devolving into the chaos to which multi-participant podcasts can fall victim.

Another great Audible podcast!
I'm really loving this Audible podcast. Perfect length for listening while I cook or commute into/out of town at around 30 minutes, give or take a few. In this episode, the Editors discuss which Spring 2018 audiobook releases they're most excited about.
I enjoyed this listen, just like I did with the previous two, but maybe just a little bit less. I'm a huge fan of the Editors' enthusiasm, so there were a couple of titles that I have added to my TBR (TBL) wishlist that I'm not sure I would have considered before - just because I'm not sure they were on my radar before now. But these gals have sold me. For example: I'm dying to hear The Power by Naomo Alderman and Educated by Tara Westover.
They mention quite a few audiobooks during the podcast, and if you're like me (busy while listening) and need to refer back to that list, you can visit https://www.audible.com/Audicted which is where the list of audiobooks discussed in each episode has been made available for us. I have used this link several times already since listening to the three episodes of Audicted available.
As of the time that I left this review, there aren't any further episodes of Audicted available --
but I'm certainly hoping that changes. I wanted to hear more!

Meh
Are all Audicted employees millennials? It sounds like my old study hall. They review some great audiobooks, but an older voice or two would be appreciated. From an old lady.
