Looking for some new audiobooks to dig into.
Ones I’d recommend: Elementals, Gilded Needles, anything RC Bray. Stephen Fry’s Greek Mythology series is impeccable. Douglas Murray does a great read of his book Madness of Crowds.

Unironically The Gulag Archipelago. Get the three volumes narrated by Frederick Davidson, (though tbh all but the last few hours are on youtube here). I listened to it around Summer 2017 while I would be out mowing, doing yard work, working out, what have you and I still remember loads of it. The section on the Kengir Uprising is as much inspiring as it is heart breaking (iirc that's in volume...2?).
I also highly, highly recommend The Storm Before the Storm, by Mike Duncan. It covers the history of Rome right before its Republic falls and is an interesting and engrossing listen. Mike Duncan is, incidentally, the same guy who did The History of Rome podcast so if you like that you'll like this because he narrates the book.
