Episode: THE LEOPARD IS LOOSE by Stephen Harrigan, read by George Guidall
Description: Avuncular, husky-voiced George Guidall as the 5-year-old protagonist of Stephen Harrigan’s audiobook seems an unusual choice—until you hear his engaging performance. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Sandi Henschel discuss this story inspired by a true event, where a leopard escaped the Oklahoma Zoo in 1953. The 70-year-old Grady McClarty relates the story from the point of view of his 5-year-old self, and Guidall’s sensitive performance makes for a memorable audiobook.
