May 2025

This May we are excited to celebrate three amazing authors (who are also moms), Janet W. Hardy, author of “The New Topping Book,” Carolyn Pistone, author of “Open For Joy,”  and Hope Timberlake author of “Speak Up Dammit!”  These phenomenal women share their knowledge and wisdom about being a successful boss, sharing your voice for clear communication, and how sexy it is to be the one in charge.  


These titles are on sale at a 25% discount on the ODDUA AUDIO Website through the month of May. Happy Mother’s Day!

In April, Allegra Bandy, CEO of ODDUA AUDIO, spoke on a panel at the Publishing Professionals Network Conference at the David Brower center in Berkeley, CA. She was on a panel with Becky Parker Geist of Pro Audio Voices and Joe Finlaw with North Atlantic Books, talking about audiobook publishing.  Allegra focused her comments on author narrated non-fiction audiobooks, and about some of the benefits and challenges working with author narrators.
