Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I've had the pleasure of listening to many productions on the Great Depression, but Hourly History's take stands out for its laser-like focus on the human experience. Aultridge Jr's narration is superb, bringing a sense of gravitas and urgency to the story. One minor criticism I have is that the audiobook's conclusion feels somewhat abrupt, with a few key threads left unresolved. However, this is a small price to pay for the wealth of information and emotional resonance that Aultridge Jr brings to the narrative.
