March 2026 – In February, I got to play catchup on a lot of important projects. After a year almost solid of audiobook production for a wide range of clients, this past month I wasn’t carrying the workload that kept me working nearly all the time — a welcome relief! It has certainly been nice to address longstanding projects.

I’ve been doing more voiceover auditions as a result, which has been great to return to as I refine my styles and techniques. There’s nothing I can report yet on that front.

Audiobooks are still in the works, though. Alongside my wife Rachel, we are about to co-narrate The Rock Cries, a crime mystery by Mabel Wedlaw. This follows my co-narration with Rachel on Dennis and School: The Alphabet Escapes – A Fun Alphabet Learning Story Audiobook for Kids by Gregory Pol, which came out in February. Also in February, I finished the audiobooks for Awakening from the Sexually Addicted Mind by Darrin Ford and The Inventory by Flo Vasquez.

So far this year, I have also produced the following audiobooks:

• The Architect’s Ghost by Robin Heester (Book 2 in a series)
• Echoes of Fortune: The Search for Braddock’s Lost Gold by David R. Leng (Book 1 in a series)
• Terminal Anxiety by Justin Spencer
• Elevated: My Journey Co-Laboring with God by Kenneth Hill with Lanny Richardson

I still have not completed work on the audiobook for my 2012 book Long-Form Improv. The audiobook has been a side project on which I have put no time pressure to complete. (I suppose I can start calling its audiobook “long-awaited”!)

The list of all my audiobooks narrated to date is compiled here on my voiceover website, Voiceoverpro.co.  That business is related to my other voiceover businesses with my wife: Voiced By Us and PoliticalVoiceovers.com.

As far as my work as John Oliver’s stand-in on the Emmy Award-winning variety series Last Week Tonight, the series has started again and I’m back to work there. This coming season is my 12th season on the series, and I’m very much looking forward to what the show will be up to!

As for working out, I started to get more in, and I start the month off with my highest VO2 Max in recent memory. I balance runs with jumping rope plus gym, and I try to fit it in as I can!
