Acerca de esta escucha
"Narrators James Fouhey and Briggon Snow give stellar performances in this quiet YA romance.... Both narrators authentically capture the ups and downs of teen romance and keep listeners engaged." (AudioFile Magazine)
Lauren Shippen's The Infinite Noise is a stunning, original debut based on her wildly popular and award-winning podcast The Bright Sessions.
Caleb Michaels is a 16-year-old champion running back. Other than that his life is pretty normal. But when Caleb starts experiencing mood swings that are out of the ordinary for even a teenager, his life moves beyond "typical".
Caleb is an Atypical, an individual with enhanced abilities. Which sounds pretty cool except Caleb's ability is extreme empathy - he feels the emotions of everyone around him. Being an empath in high school would be hard enough, but Caleb's life becomes even more complicated when he keeps getting pulled into the emotional orbit of one of his classmates, Adam. Adam's feelings are big and all-consuming, but they fit together with Caleb's feelings in a way that he can't quite understand.
Caleb's therapist, Dr. Bright, encourages Caleb to explore this connection by befriending Adam. As he and Adam grow closer, Caleb learns more about his ability, himself, his therapist - who seems to know a lot more than she lets on - and just how dangerous being an Atypical can be.
"What if the X-Men, instead of becoming superheroes, decided to spend some time in therapy?" (Vox on The Bright Sessions)

Historia
Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch. There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister.

Historia
Luc O'Donnell is tangentially - and reluctantly - famous. His rock-star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next 20 years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. He’s perfect boyfriend material.

There are plenty of words Jonah Collins could use to describe Dylan Ramírez. “Arrogant,” “spoiled,” and “golden boy” to name a few. Likewise, Dylan thinks he has Jonah accurately labeled as an attention-seeking asshat who never shuts his filthy mouth. Their friends are convinced Jonah’s and Dylan’s disdain for one another is just thinly veiled lust—a rumor that surges like wildfire when the two wake up in one bed after homecoming. Mutually horrified, Dylan and Jonah agree to use the faux pas to their advantage by fake dating.

Arek hadn’t thought much about what would happen after he completed the prophecy that said he was destined to save the Kingdom of Ere from its evil ruler. So now that he’s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don’t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next. As a temporary safeguard, Arek’s best friend and mage, Matt, convinces him to assume the throne until the true heir can be rescued from her tower. Except that she’s dead.

Felix Love has never been in love — and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many — Black, queer, and transgender — to ever get his own happily-ever-after.

I never realized how much I relate to Adam until listening to this audiobook because his character and background wasn't able to be explained in detail throughout the podcast. Hearing his thoughts and emotions described, including his struggle with depression, made me feel validated and seen for the first time, which is such a beautiful feeling.
I have waited for this book ever since Lauren announced that there would be a book series based on the podcast. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank her, Briggon, James, and all the other people responsible for bringing this novel to life. I love these boys, and this is another story that I will carry in my heart always.
I love Caleb and Adam even more now!

Firstly, The Bright Sessions are a great (and free) podcast I'd recommend listening to. I listened to the first season (nine ~20 min episodes) before starting in on this book, and kinda alternated between the podcast's second season and the book as it went. Caleb's therapy sessions in the podcast are often reiterated in this book, but mostly in summaries while adding a bunch of detail about what's going through Caleb's head. The various concepts and plot points introduced late in the book were already familiar from the podcast, but I imagine they would have been pretty out of left field if you were only reading the book. The ending of the book is quite frankly insulting with how much it just kind of gives up in the last half-hour without really wrapping up the plot it seemingly introduced, but I wasn't angry because I know I still have two more seasons of the podcast to listen to (wherein Caleb is set to make more appearances, given the titles of the episodes), so I know there's still time to bring the story some closure. That's the thing, though, this book feels like it was written for fans of the podcast. It feels like perhaps the author wanted to do a stand-alone treatment of the story, and was succeeding in doing so early on, but once the characters started cross-interacting in the audio drama, it was kind of impossible to continue doing that.
As for the performance, it was alright. I love that Briggon Snow reprises the role of Caleb, as it connects the two mediums together well. Both narrators are amazing at portraying the emotions running rampant through this book. They're amazing performers. But the audio quality is a bit lacking, like you're hearing them through a good Skype connection. And it was often difficult to tell whether the point of view character was saying some things out loud or simply thinking those things, and you had to wait until another character's response to try and figure it out via context. Caleb's chapters in particular have some amazing flowery descriptions of what Caleb is feeling, which tend to drag out dialogs between characters (made particularly obvious during the reiterated therapy sessions, especially seeing how natural those sounded in the podcast).
So yeah, if you haven't already listened through the complete audio drama, my recommendation comes with the caveat that you listen to the podcast before or while you listen/read this. If it helps, chapter 15 of this book happens at the same time as episode 102 of the podcast, ch 21 at the same time as ep 105, ch 27 before ep 107, ch 33 just before ep 202, ch 38 & 39 at the same time as ep 207, ch 41 at the same time as ep 215, and ch 49 at the same time as ep 218. And, like I said, the book just kinda stops, so the remaining two seasons of the podcast should hopefully resolve the story properly (I haven't listened to them yet at time of writing).
