Introducing Earsay: The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club!

Join Ed Helms and Kal Penn as they dive into the world’s biggest audiobooks. Earsay kicks off with a deep dive into Audible’s immersive, full-cast adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Host Ed Helms is joined by Jennie Garth (90210, I Choose Me podcast) to explore the audiobook’s lush sound design and standout performances from Marisa Abela, Harris Dickinson, Bill Nighy, and Glenn Close. Together, they unpack the enduring appeal of Austen’s classic romance, draw surprising connections between Elizabeth Bennet’s fierce independence and Garth’s iconic “I choose me” moment from 90210 and so much more.

a fun novel? What is it about this story that's
fun to you? It's the romance it's always going to
come back to that supernatural thrillers.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I used to do this exercise when I wrote it.
I had someone read the prophecies scripts out loud to me,
and I would have my eyes closed. And so the
goal was that while I was listening, that had to
feel as though they were open, like, oh, I'm vividly
seeing it even as I'm hearing it.
