Newbery award winning author, and audiobook narrator extraordinaire, Jack Gantos will emcee the event and says "I'm thrilled to host the Audies. Unlike when I'm in the recording studio, while on stage at the Audies Gala I can wear a watch, have my stomach growl, jiggle pocket change, trip over my own tongue, laugh at my own jokes, completely screw up my lines and not have to worry about repeating myself-- again and again. It is an honor to be a part of recognizing all the incredible audio talent in the industry who do the hard work of controlling themselves in the studio every single day." This year there will be an additional category: JUDGES AWARD – SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY.
