Books On Tape, 1975 Duvall Hecht for "reading" during long slow commutes in LA.
Recorded Books, >1975 Henry Trentman in Maryland.
narrators stage actors, Frank Muller > 400 books (Incl. Jerry Jenkins Left Behind)
Michael Pritchard did Travis McGee and Newo Wolfe
- 60,000 titles by 2000
- 4 surprises: less roadrage, authors poor narrators, long music is distraction, one narrator best
