Story
In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them.

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

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.

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.
