JANUARY 22, 2025, NEW YORK, NY – Today, the Audio Publishers Association (APA) announced finalists for the 30th Annual Audie Awards®, the premier awards program recognizing distinction in audiobooks and spoken-word entertainment. Full list of finalists below. Winners across 28 competitive categories will be revealed on March 4 in New York, which will be hosted by Emmy® nominated actress, comedian, and author, Amy Sedaris (2008 Audies finalist). 

“As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Audie Awards, we’re reflecting on three decades of honoring the incredible talent and innovation within the audiobook industry,” said Sean McManus, President, Audio Publishers Association. “This year’s finalists represent the very best in storytelling, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their achievements. We’re also thrilled to have Amy Sedaris as our host—her wit, charm, and unmistakable sense of humor will bring a unique spark to the evening. It’s a perfect match for an event that celebrates the art of voice and performance, and we can't wait for everyone to join us in this special celebration!”

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be hosting the 30th Annual Audie Awards this year,” exclaimed Sedaris. “It’s such an honor to celebrate audiobooks and the many talented voices involved—especially since mine is usually reserved for explaining how to glue things together or reading instructions on soup cans.”
