In Ridiculous News…
The Characters Have Opinions.
And Voices.
More than 100 people auditioned. Alan Irving won the role. Whether the characters approved of the decision remains a matter of interplanetary debate.
This original audiobook is its own version of Book 1. It differs slightly from the current books, with character voices and musical moments brought to life through Alan’s interpretation.
That’s Alan’s interpretation. We would love to hear yours!
