The Audie Awards (often referred to as the "Oscars of Audiobooks) are where the magic of audiobooks gets its standing ovation. They’re the big stage, the bright lights, the ultimate nod to the storytellers and voices that pull us in and keep us listening. Every year, the Audio Publishers Association rolls out the carpet for the finest in the business—those who’ve mastered the art of weaving words and sound into something unforgettable.

These awards don’t just celebrate stories; they celebrate the heartbeat of narration, the rhythm of voices that make characters leap off the page and into our minds. From gripping mysteries to side-splitting comedies, from real-life wisdom to sweeping epics, the Audie Awards honor the works that set the gold standard for what an audiobook can be.

Here, we’ve got a list of years waiting for you (Winners are announced at the Audies Gala on March). Click on any one of them to uncover the winners, the game-changers, and the stories that shaped the world of audiobooks that year. Go ahead—step into the history of sound and story.
