Earsay: The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club

A forensic anthropologist who secretly writes cozy mysteries. An actress-turned-director who adapts his book into a film he hates. A media tour forcing them together. Just Kiss Already!
Author Lily Chu joins the show and explores the book’s dual-narrator structure (voiced by Simu Liu and Phillipa Soo) — and how satisfying it is to hear two very different people experiencing two very different sides of the same love story.

Wil Wheaton starred as the main character in the 1986 classic Stand By Me, which was based on the Stephen King novella The Body. Forty Years later, Wil has narrated the new audiobook version of The Body in a real true circle moment.
He joins Kal to jump into the differences between the darker novella and the film, and we hear about a vivid flashback to filming with River Phoenix that hit Wil while recording this audiobook. He also gets into his own parallels with the character he voices, and explains how his fellow cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation became the family he never had.
