Noted in the podcast, audiobooks with a difference.
Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is a great example of a full cast dramatization with narration by the author.
2017 Man Booker Prize winner Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders, which used a cast of twenty high-profile performers to realize some of the 166 characters in the book. And from a more journalistic bent, the audiobook of Malcolm Gladwell's Talking to Strangers, narrated by him, contains extracts from interviews he's recorded, which has seen the audiobook outstrip the print edition in sales.
