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.

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.

Audicted!
Every time an episode of Audicted is released, I listen to it immediately. I love this podcast. I love hearing what is upcoming in the way of audiobooks because I love them so much, and I also think it has a little bit to do with how I think it must be very cool to be an editor at Audible.
This episode adds a male editor to the group, Kyle. Kyle has a ton of information on the upcoming season's political titles. There are apparently a bunch of them coming in and while I really never listen to nonfiction titles from Audible, the Editors have made them all sound interesting in this podcast. (If only there were enough credits, right?) Of them all, I loved listening to the discussion about James Comey's A Higher Loyalty most. For other listeners that enjoy nonfiction reads, particularly about politics, this episode will be a real treat.
At the end of this episode, a listening party is announced for the next episode and it sounds great. The selection that has been chosen is fairly high on my to-be-read list of books and audiobooks, so I'm hoping to be able to get to it before the next episode becomes available. I like listening to the Editors talk about books that I haven't read, but I particularly love it when I have listened so I can agree/disagree with their comments and observations.
And as always, all of the audiobooks and narrators discussed in this episode can be found at https://www.audible.com/Audicted so there is no need to try to write down everything that is being discussed in real time.

Tweaking the Formula
Story: 4-Stars
************
I appreciated the inclusion of the political specialist 'Millennial Kyle.' One of the shortcomings I have felt with the show to date is the somewhat limited genre perspectives. Hopefully, this is a sign of more to come.
The is the second 'looking forward' episode, and I feel the content here is better than the first - there seems to be much more known about the covered titles this time around, with the hosts depending less on purely speculative information from publisher visits.
I'm not sure if it was planned, but the brief aside covering audio speed was really beneficial. I was aware of the feature, but didn't realize its ubiquitous use. I will have fun experimenting with it.
Performance: 3-Stars
*******************
The opening vignette (the coffee machine) was a great way to get started, and it appears the show's intro/outro has received a musical change. Two thumbs up for these innovative tweaks. I hope they stick around.
From a technical perspective, there is a long period during one of Kyle's speaking portions where the distinct sound of heavy breathing somewhat detracts from the experience.

I like this series, BUT...
there are many mystery/thrillers from established authors coming out this summer and only one is mentioned.
My other comment concerns the brief discussion of listening speed. I have an Audible library of more than 2200 books and I listen to all at increased speed, mostly 2X but sometimes 2.5X. As a southerner I do not care for a comment made by one of the Audible editors suggesting that those from the south likely have to listen at slower speeds.
