of The Coward Brothers</a></em>, a three-part scripted Audible Original audio series – referred to by the author as a "wireless drama" – that recounts the history of Henry and Howard Coward, a pair of delightfully deluded pop practitioners and conjurers played by Elvis Costello and T Bone Burnett, premiering Thursday, November 21, exclusively from Audible.</p><p>Adding to the lore of these rock and roll charlatans comes an all-new, 20-track album from Costello and Burnett, who first worked together as <em><a href="http://newwst.com/cowardbrothers" target="_blank">The Coward Brothers</a></em> forty years ago, debuting from New West Records alongside the Audible Original on November 21. Ahead of the dual roll out, New West Records will release the first album single, Always, which is also featured in the Audible Original, on Tuesday, October 8. The track will be <a href="http://newwst.com/cowardbrothers" target="_blank">available</a> on all digital music services. </p><p>Audible’s <em><a href="https://www.audible.com/Coward" target="_blank">The True Story of The Coward Brothers</a></em> follows two musical brothers – one English, one American, both the illegitimate sons of dubious parentage who may, as they claim to be, "one and half-brothers" – perhaps a reference to the disparity in their height and relative talents. In this satirical audio series directed by Christopher Guest (<em>This Is Spinal Tap</em>, <em>Best in Show</em>), Henry and Howard Coward are lightly grilled by radio host, Sterling Lockhart (Harry Shearer) as they bitterly retrace the story of being duped out of their royalties and rightful place in pop history by their cutthroat manager who, among other things, persuaded them to fake their own deaths. Their sometimes poignant and heartrending story reveals an improbable love triangle involving their publisher's secretary, Phyliss Dandy (Rhea Seehorn), as well as entertaining listeners with tales of their lost music, unsupportable claims of having written titles curiously adjacent to more famous songs, such as "A Lotta Money", "Tipsy Woman" and their failed attempt at Cold War topicality, "My Baby Just Whistles (Here Come The Missiles)".</p><p>The Audible Original features all-new music from The Coward Brothers and boasts an all-star cast which also includes Edward Hibbert (<em>The Prestige</em>, <em>Earthworm Jim</em>), Stephen Root (<em>Barry</em>, <em>Office Space</em>), and Kathreen Khavari (<em>Avengers Assemble</em>, <em>Big Little Lies</em>). The Elvis Costello scripted musical-comedy series will be available exclusively for Audible listeners beginning November 21. </p><p>In conjunction with the release of the Audible Original, New West Records will release <em><a href="http://newwst.com/cowardbrothers" target="_blank">The Coward Brothers</a></em>, a self-titled new album from Burnett and Costello – otherwise known as Henry and Howard Coward – inviting listeners to indulge in the musical library, the forgotten hits and demos of the imagined brothers. The album will feature tracks also in the Audible Original including “Pure Bubblegum”, “Like Licorice”, “World Serious”, and more. <em>The Coward Brothers</em> will release on CD, LP, Limited Edition "Licorice Red" vinyl as well as a limited-edition “Pink Bubblegum” variant with Barnes & Noble on November 15. The digital release will be available on iTunes and all streaming services on November 21. </p><p>“With regard to the ludicrous assertion that this person, Howard Coward, and I are one and the same, I have to say: this is the work of a bounder, a rounder and a charlatan, and I shall be examining my legal options forthwith,” said Elvis Costello on the Audible Original and album from The Coward Brothers. </p><p>When asked about his connection to the musical duo, T Bone Burnett said, “I have a vague recollection of buying a 45 of the song Pure Bubblegum by an act called The Coward Brothers many long years ago. I heard it on a Fort Worth radio station called KXOL, billed as ‘the new music.’ The disc jockey played it once and got such a bad response from listeners that they burned it the next morning in front of the station. What ever happened to those guys – are they still alive?” </p><p><em>The True Story of The Coward Brothers</em> expands Costello’s and Burnett’s Audible catalogues, joining Burnett’s <em><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Confederacy-Truth-and-Reconciliation-Audiobook/B08JNLF1J7" target="_blank">The Confederacy: Truth and Reconciliation</a></em> and Costello’s <em><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/How-to-Play-the-Guitar-and-Y-Audiobook/B09FFS2BYQ" target="_blank">How to Play the Guitar and Y</a></em>, both of which are part of Audible’s <a href="https://www.audible.com/ep/Words+Music" target="_blank">Words + Music</a> slate. The upcoming Audible Original also joins an exciting slate of audio-only original comedies including <em><a href="https://www.audible.com/podcast/Hot-White-Heist/B095T2L8G6" target="_blank">Hot White Heist</a></em> starring Bowen Yang, <em><a href="https://www.audible.com/podcast/Trust-Fall/B0CNTS4W3C" target="_blank">Trust Fall</a></em> starring Colin Jost and Wanda Sykes, <em><a href="https://www.audible.com/podcast/Yes-We-Cannabis/B0C9KQW6Q3" target="_blank">Yes We Cannabis</a></em> starring Sam Richardson and Method Man, and <em><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Hit-Job-Podcast/B091ZH3RCM?source_code=GO1DH13310082090P5&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6pOTBhCTARIsAHF23fKpbYTII5EPJgxC-c8jF9PSgg0kXPIN5I-8YHet8acrps-G_zpzOEIaAhKCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Hit Job</a></em> starring Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson. </p></div></article></div><div class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ukcfM"><div class="Container_Container__KYs8X "><h2 class="h1 tick tick--centered">Related</h2><div class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__Recent__txJS9"><article class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__Article__eCcDP"><div class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleWrap___Djuw"><figure class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleImage__CxR5x"><a class="" href="/about/newsroom/audible-and-higher-ground-announce-the-wonder-of-stevie"><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/3sa0209epr53/6sJ8dozz6PJ8TMweqSbNIi/996661c59a5fb66b44e564290fd3c905/newsroom_the-wonder-of-stevie.png?w=420&h=260&fit=fill&q=90" srcSet="//images.ctfassets.net/3sa0209epr53/6sJ8dozz6PJ8TMweqSbNIi/996661c59a5fb66b44e564290fd3c905/newsroom_the-wonder-of-stevie.png?w=80&h=50&fit=fill&q=90 560w, //images.ctfassets.net/3sa0209epr53/6sJ8dozz6PJ8TMweqSbNIi/996661c59a5fb66b44e564290fd3c905/newsroom_the-wonder-of-stevie.png?w=420&h=260&fit=fill&q=90 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 559px) 560px, 1800px"/></a><div class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleTag__8Jxq0"><a href="/about/newsroom/category/press-releases">Press Releases</a></div></figure><div class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleText__6berN"><span class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleMeta__8__N_"><em>Press Releases</em>September 12, 2024</span><h5 class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleTitle__sPD5u"><a href="/about/newsroom/audible-and-higher-ground-announce-the-wonder-of-stevie">Audible and Higher Ground Announce "The Wonder of Stevie"</a></h5><p class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleExcerpt__c_T__">“The Wonder of Stevie” covers Stevie Wonder’s iconic legacy and “classic period.” Hosted by Wesley Morris and featuring exclusive conversations with Wonder, guests include President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and more.</p><span class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleDate__Sgkoy">September 12, 2024</span></div></div></article><article class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__Article__eCcDP"><div class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleWrap___Djuw"><figure class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleImage__CxR5x"><a class="" href="/about/newsroom/audible-and-broadway-video-announce-two-star-studded-scripted-comedies"><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/3sa0209epr53/3hbfBFoFVDDNsIiuVIrNEi/11cc1b19e250025dee60e52715e797c2/Audible_x_BV.png?w=420&h=260&fit=fill&q=90" srcSet="//images.ctfassets.net/3sa0209epr53/3hbfBFoFVDDNsIiuVIrNEi/11cc1b19e250025dee60e52715e797c2/Audible_x_BV.png?w=80&h=50&fit=fill&q=90 560w, //images.ctfassets.net/3sa0209epr53/3hbfBFoFVDDNsIiuVIrNEi/11cc1b19e250025dee60e52715e797c2/Audible_x_BV.png?w=420&h=260&fit=fill&q=90 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 559px) 560px, 1800px"/></a><div class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleTag__8Jxq0"><a href="/about/newsroom/category/press-releases">Press Releases</a></div></figure><div class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleText__6berN"><span class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleMeta__8__N_"><em>Press Releases</em>August 12, 2024</span><h5 class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleTitle__sPD5u"><a href="/about/newsroom/audible-and-broadway-video-announce-two-star-studded-scripted-comedies">Audible and Broadway Video Announce Two Star-Studded Scripted Comedies</a></h5><p class="NewsRoll_NewsRoll__ArticleExcerpt__c_T__">The next Audible Original scripted comedies from Broadway Video will star Glen Powell and Nicholas Braun in “The Best Man’s Ghostwriter” and Taraji P.

Ahead of the dual roll out, New West Records will release the first album single, Always, which is also featured in the Audible Original, on Tuesday, October 8. The track will be [available](http://newwst.com/cowardbrothers) on all digital music services. \n\nAudible’s *[The True Story of The Coward Brothers](https://www.audible.com/Coward)* follows two musical brothers – one English, one American, both the illegitimate sons of dubious parentage who may, as they claim to be, \"one and half-brothers\" – perhaps a reference to the disparity in their height and relative talents. In this satirical audio series directed by Christopher Guest (*This Is Spinal Tap*, *Best in Show*), Henry and Howard Coward are lightly grilled by radio host, Sterling Lockhart (Harry Shearer) as they bitterly retrace the story of being duped out of their royalties and rightful place in pop history by their cutthroat manager who, among other things, persuaded them to fake their own deaths. Their sometimes poignant and heartrending story reveals an improbable love triangle involving their publisher's secretary, Phyliss Dandy (Rhea Seehorn), as well as entertaining listeners with tales of their lost music, unsupportable claims of having written titles curiously adjacent to more famous songs, such as \"A Lotta Money\", \"Tipsy Woman\" and their failed attempt at Cold War topicality, \"My Baby Just Whistles (Here Come The Missiles)\".\n\nThe Audible Original features all-new music from The Coward Brothers and boasts an all-star cast which also includes Edward Hibbert (*The Prestige*, *Earthworm Jim*), Stephen Root (*Barry*, *Office Space*), and Kathreen Khavari (*Avengers Assemble*, *Big Little Lies*). The Elvis Costello scripted musical-comedy series will be available exclusively for Audible listeners beginning November 21. \n\nIn conjunction with the release of the Audible Original, New West Records will release *[The Coward Brothers](http://newwst.com/cowardbrothers)*, a self-titled new album from Burnett and Costello – otherwise known as Henry and Howard Coward – inviting listeners to indulge in the musical library, the forgotten hits and demos of the imagined brothers. The album will feature tracks also in the Audible Original including “Pure Bubblegum”, “Like Licorice”, “World Serious”, and more. *The Coward Brothers* will release on CD, LP, Limited Edition \"Licorice Red\" vinyl as well as a limited-edition “Pink Bubblegum” variant with Barnes \u0026 Noble on November 15. The digital release will be available on iTunes and all streaming services on November 21. \n\n“With regard to the ludicrous assertion that this person, Howard Coward, and I are one and the same, I have to say: this is the work of a bounder, a rounder and a charlatan, and I shall be examining my legal options forthwith,” said Elvis Costello on the Audible Original and album from The Coward Brothers. \n\nWhen asked about his connection to the musical duo, T Bone Burnett said, “I have a vague recollection of buying a 45 of the song Pure Bubblegum by an act called The Coward Brothers many long years ago. I heard it on a Fort Worth radio station called KXOL, billed as ‘the new music.’ The disc jockey played it once and got such a bad response from listeners that they burned it the next morning in front of the station. What ever happened to those guys – are they still alive?” \n\n*The True Story of The Coward Brothers* expands Costello’s and Burnett’s Audible catalogues, joining Burnett’s *[The Confederacy: Truth and Reconciliation](https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Confederacy-Truth-and-Reconciliation-Audiobook/B08JNLF1J7)* and Costello’s *[How to Play the Guitar and Y](https://www.audible.com/pd/How-to-Play-the-Guitar-and-Y-Audiobook/B09FFS2BYQ)*, both of which are part of Audible’s [Words + Music](https://www.audible.com/ep/Words+Music) slate. The upcoming Audible Original also joins an exciting slate of audio-only original comedies including *[Hot White Heist](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Hot-White-Heist/B095T2L8G6)* starring Bowen Yang, *[Trust Fall](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Trust-Fall/B0CNTS4W3C)* starring Colin Jost and Wanda Sykes, *[Yes We Cannabis](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Yes-We-Cannabis/B0C9KQW6Q3)* starring Sam Richardson and Method Man, and *[Hit Job](https://www.audible.com/pd/Hit-Job-Podcast/B091ZH3RCM?source_code=GO1DH13310082090P5\u0026gclid=Cj0KCQjw6pOTBhCTARIsAHF23fKpbYTII5EPJgxC-c8jF9PSgg0kXPIN5I-8YHet8acrps-G_zpzOEIaAhKCEALw_wcB\u0026gclsrc=aw.ds)*

and Higher Ground, President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s media company, along with Audacy’s Pineapple Street Studios, today announced the premiere of *[The Wonder of Stevie](http://audible.com/wonder)*, the third release from Audible and Higher Ground’s [exclusive first-look deal](https://www.audible.com/about/newsroom/higher-ground-audible-exclusive-first-look-deal). This seven-episode podcast covers Stevie Wonder’s iconic legacy with a focus on his “classic period,” from 1972-1976, when the musician, songwriter, and singer released a streak of five albums that forever changed American music. Hosted by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic Wesley Morris, featuring exclusive conversations with Stevie Wonder and a wide range of A-list fans, all seven episodes of *The Wonder of Stevie* debut today on Audible. Higher Ground and Audacy’s Pineapple Street Studios produced the series alongside Questlove through his Two One Five Entertainment banner with Stevie Wonder executive producing. \n\n*The Wonder of Stevie* focuses on a five-year stretch in which Stevie Wonder achieved a peak of greatness unmatched by virtually any other American artist—releasing five celebrated albums on Motown Records’ Tamla imprint. This run of creativity garnered Wonder 12 GRAMMY Awards for the music on these iconic albums, a 13th GRAMMY for himself as Non-Classical Producer of the Year, sold over 10 million albums, and secured his place as one of the most important American musicians and songwriters in history. The Higher Ground and Audible Original invites audiences on an intimate journey infused with its star-studded contributors’ unique experiences and impassioned fandoms.\n\nFeatured guests include President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and celebrated musicians Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick, King Britt, Babyface, Bob Margouleff, Jimmy Jam, Ray Parker Jr., Janelle Monáe, Mereba, Yolanda Adams, Greg Phillinganes, Rick McLaughlin, Will Butler, Deniece Williams, journalists Robert Christgau, Maureen Orth, Alex Pappademas and Brittany Luse, art curator Thelma Golden, artist Lorna Simpson, activist Michaela Angela Davis, and legendary entertainment executive Suzanne de Passe.\n\nIncluding over 40 legendary Stevie Wonder songs, *The Wonder of Stevie* culminates in a final episode where Stevie Wonder himself joins President Barack Obama and host Wesley Morris in the studio, giving his first-hand, personal account of this remarkable time period. President Obama and Stevie Wonder sing *Golden Lady* together and reflect on Wonder’s lasting impact. This final episode will be exclusively on Audible through December. \n\nPresident Obama said: “The first album I ever bought with my own money was *Talking Book*, by Stevie Wonder. Since then, his music has brought warmth and humanity to my life, just like it has for so many others. With an incredible array of artists, experts, and the legend himself, this podcast gives you an even greater appreciation of Stevie’s genius and his impact on American culture.”\n\nMichelle Obama said: “We all know Stevie Wonder is a legend—the songs, the albums, the melodies take hold in your soul and just won't let go. I've been a fan of his for as long as I can remember. That's why this podcast was so surprising — Wesley walks us through the full magnitude of his work, uncovering how Stevie's magic has shaped not just the world of music, but the world itself.\" \n\nStevie Wonder said: “The only gift that’s greater is my being able to thank God for every note, every lyric, every song, that I have been given to share forever with the world. As I reflect back on some of my fondest and proudest moments on this music journey, I am beyond humbled to have those that I respect and deeply cherish, show me the kind of love that I can hear and feel in their voices.”\n\nAhmir “Questlove” Thompson said: “Stevie is someone who I have looked up to for as long as I can remember, and his continued impact on music, in the 1970s and now, is undeniable. It was a no-brainer to join the production of this comprehensive study of some of my favorite Stevie Wonder tracks through Two One Five Entertainment. More importantly, I’m humbled to be a part of this historic conversation with a fellow Philly native in Wesley. I’m looking forward to reintroducing the incomparable passion in Stevie’s work to listeners old and new.”\n\nRachel Ghiazza, Chief Content Officer at Audible, said: “Stevie Wonder’s voice has been part of the soundtrack of our lives for the past 60 years, and this is the first authorized account of his iconic and singular life story. As a creator-focused company, Audible recognizes the power of audio to tell the most important and enduring stories of our time. We’re incredibly proud to bring Wonder’s legacy to listeners globally, and who better than the acclaimed Wesley Morris to guide us through such a vividly rendered and spectacularly original narrative? This series is so full of joy – it’s a true celebration of musical storytelling.”\n\nProduced with Two One Five Entertainment and Audacy’s Pineapple Street Studios, the series marks the third project from Audible and Higher Ground’s exclusive first-look deal. *[Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Michelle-Obama-The-Light-Podcast/B0BTJ8DDXD)*, released in Spring 2023, featured Michelle Obama’s inspiring conversations with esteemed friends like Ellen DeGeneres, Tyler Perry, Conan O’Brien, and Oprah Winfrey. *[Your Mama’s Kitchen: Conversations from the Heart of the Home](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Your-Mamas-Kitchen/B0CDYP48ZW)*, hosted by Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist Michele Norris, explored the complexities of family life and how guests’ earliest culinary experiences helped shape their personal and professional lives. Forthcoming, Audible and Higher Ground will collaborate with the History Channel and Malcolm Gladwell’s Pushkin Industries on [an eight-part Original audio series](https://www.audible.com/about/newsroom/higher-ground-and-audible-to-explore-american-reconstruction-in-new-podcast) about the legacy of America’s Reconstruction era. Audible and Higher Ground’s ongoing collaboration reinforces Higher Ground’s commitment to audio. Since its inception, Higher Ground, an Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning media company, has brought powerful stories to life. \n\nStevie Wonder is one of the most beloved and revered names in music history. Since being discovered at the age of 11, and earning his first No. 1 single just two years later at age 13 with *Fingertips – Pt. 2* (the youngest solo artist ever to do so), he’s gone on to become one of the best-selling artists of all time with more than 100 million records sold. His incredible catalog of work has earned him 25 GRAMMY Awards including a Lifetime Achievement Award, an Academy Award, inductions into the Rock \u0026 Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame, the youngest ever Kennedy Center honoree, and inclusion of his work in the Library of Congress."}}],"hideRelatedPosts":false}},{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"3sa0209epr53"}},"id":"7oPCOy8xQVz13HQ8bJtYlP","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-08-12T14:03:24.368Z","updatedAt":"2024-08-12T14:03:24.368Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":13,"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"newsPost"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"title":"Audible and Broadway Video Announce Two Star-Studded Scripted Comedies","slug":"audible-and-broadway-video-announce-two-star-studded-scripted-comedies","seo":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"3sa0209epr53"}},"id":"5SMPKrfliTeM2lC2ZYg3lW","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-08-12T14:02:53.814Z","updatedAt":"2024-08-12T14:02:53.814Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":4,"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"pageSeo"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"pageTitle":"Audible and Broadway Video Announce Two Star-Studded Scripted Comedies","pageDescription":"The next Audible Original scripted comedies from Broadway Video will star Glen Powell and Nicholas Braun in “The Best Man’s Ghostwriter” and Taraji P.

Henson](https://www.audible.com/author/Henson-Taraji-P/B01IT7KY42) and Tracee Ellis Ross.\n\nDebuting on September 12, *The Best Man’s Ghostwriter* follows the story of Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself, Nate uses his list of Don’ts: don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out, the list goes on. Nate’s system never fails. That is until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun), the hopelessly awkward best man for a mega social influencer. On top of that, Nate needs to find a best man for his own wedding – forcing him to confront a brutal friendship breakup with his best friend. As Nate works with Dan, he explores the often idiotic world of male friendship and must come up with an answer to the one question most men never think about: *why* is their best friend their best friend? \n\nFeaturing an all-star cast including Ashley Park, D’Arcy Carden, [Lance Bass](https://www.audible.com/author/Lance-Bass/B001JRZXWI), Zach Braff, Lukas Gage, Alex Wolff, Debra Messing, [George Takei](https://www.audible.com/author/George-Takei/B001KE4BZK), Jack McBrayer, Nicole Byer, Zach Cherry, Lennon Parham, Neil Flynn, Jason Mantzoukas, Ben Marshall, John Higgins, Martin Herlihy, [Jonathan Van Ness](https://www.audible.com/author/Jonathan-Van-Ness/B07QCML1CS), [Sherri Shepherd](https://www.audible.com/author/Sherri-Shepherd/B0028OGAM8), and more, *The Best Man’s Ghostwriter* is a laugh-out-loud, heartfelt audio show written and directed by comedian and former real-life best man’s ghostwriter, Matthew Starr. It is executive produced by Britta von Schoeler and produced by Mark Valdez, Matthew Starr, and Glen Powell.\n\n*Stranded*, created and directed by Chris Bruno and David Howard Lee, and written with Shukri R. Abdi, is set to premiere on November 7. Joining Henson and Ellis Ross is a renowned ensemble cast including Lamorne Morris, [Jay Ellis](https://www.audible.com/author/Jay-Ellis/B0CYMVDHH9), Tim Robinson, [Taye Diggs](https://www.audible.com/author/Taye-Diggs/B00DW37CQW), [Whoopi Goldberg](https://www.audible.com/author/Whoopi-Goldberg/B000APBFGS), [Larry Wilmore](https://www.audible.com/author/Larry-Wilmore/B001JS1QE6), Keith David, Ashley Nicole Black, Mikey Day, Zazie Beetz, Nicole Byer, Phylicia Rashad, Phil LaMarr, and more. The series is executive produced by Britta von Schoeler and produced by Gabriella Mezzacappa and Eddie Michaels. In *Stranded*, separated by twenty years, three thousand miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet (Tracee Ellis Ross) and Serena (Taraji P. Henson) plan a girls trip to reconnect. But after their party boat crashes, they’re the lone survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean cay. Armed with zero survival skills, they must overcome rough seas, deadly wildlife, and, most terrifyingly, decades of accrued resentment to find their way home. As long as they don’t kill each other first. \n\n“Bringing *The Best Man’s Ghostwriter* to life was a blast,” said Glen Powell. “I wanted to produce a heartfelt and hilarious story about the highest stakes moment for any friendship…the best man’s speech. And even better I got to act alongside my most talented friends.”\n\nTaraji P. Henson added, “Joining forces with Tracee Ellis Ross and our hilarious ensemble cast on *Stranded* has been a dream. I’m excited to share this laugh-out-loud, sidesplitting story with Audible listeners everywhere.”\n\nThese titles will join the robust slate of audio-only scripted original comedy series from Audible and Broadway Video Enterprises, including *[Hot White Heist](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Hot-White-Heist/B095T2L8G6)* starring Bowen Yang; *[Excessive](https://www.audible.com/pd/Excessive-Audiobook/B0BYPC8FVH)* starring Chloe Fineman and Joshua Jackson; *[Trust Fall](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Trust-Fall/B0CNTS4W3C)* starring Colin Jost and Wanda Sykes; *[Yes We Cannabis](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Yes-We-Cannabis/B0C9KQW6Q3)* starring Sam Richardson and Method Man; *[Michelle Rojas Is Not Okay](https://www.audible.com/pd/Michelle-Rojas-Is-Not-Okay-Audiobook/B0BSVPVVMG)* starring Dascha Polanco; *[Past My Bedtime](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Past-My-Bedtime/B0BKH5Y9DF)* starring David Harbour; *[Hit Job](https://www.audible.com/pd/Hit-Job-Podcast/B091ZH3RCM)* starring Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson; New York Times Audio Fiction Best-Seller *[Escape from Virtual Island](https://www.audible.com/pd/Escape-from-Virtual-Island-Audiobook/B0847SB7C1)* starring Paul Rudd, Jack McBrayer, Amber Ruffin and Paula Pell; New York Times Audio Fiction Best-Seller *[Heads Will Roll](https://www.audible.com/pd/Heads-Will-Roll-Audiobook/B07MFWKPJ7)* created by and starring Kate McKinnon and Emily Lynne, featuring Tim Gunn, Meryl Streep and Peter Dinklage; *[64th Man](https://www.audible.com/pd/64th-Man-Audiobook/B07X59MP9M)*, starring John Cena and Anna Chlumsky; *[Holiday Greetings from Sugar and Booze](https://www.audible.com/pd/Holiday-Greetings-from-Sugar-and-Booze-Audiobook/B07YYMVPJV)* starring Ana Gasteyer and Maya Rudolph, *[Lem Can Help](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Lem-Can-Help/B09RS31D3X)* starring Fred Armisen and *[Christmas Delivery](https://www.audible.com/podcast/Christmas-Delivery/B09NF6VBNL)* starring Gillian Jacobs and Sam Richardson."}}],"hideRelatedPosts":false}},{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"3sa0209epr53"}},"id":"5a4bkEYtphxnshYELG8NhV","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-07T16:00:04.346Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-07T20:47:37.274Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":16,"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"newsPost"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"title":"Mariah Carey Lends Voice to Audible's Words+Music “Portrait of a Portrait”","slug":"mariah-carey-lends-voice-to-audibles-words-music-portrait-of-a-portrait","seo":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"3sa0209epr53"}},"id":"4RRzkJLYP592bWhhODlcHS","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-06T21:56:41.477Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-06T21:57:59.250Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":5,"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"pageSeo"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"pageTitle":"Mariah Carey Lends Voice to Audible's Words+Music “Portrait of a Portrait”","pageDescription":"Debuting May 23, \"Portrait of a Portrait\" explores Mariah Carey's creative process and song narratives.
