Behind the Mic Podcast

Ramón de Ocampo is a standout narrator, and we’re pleased to name him one of AudioFile’s 2020 Golden Voice narrators. He helps listeners feel an emotional connection to the characters in the audiobooks he narrates, whether they are playful friendships or difficult and more intense confrontations. He is celebrated often for his work on children’s and young adult audiobooks, and he connects well with young listeners. Ramón’s characters always seem real, and he’s attuned to the tempo and energy of what the author has written. His lively narration of Casey McQuiston’s RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE earned him a Romance nomination for the 2020 Audie Awards.

Today, host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss Ramón’s Earphones Award-winning performance of WE DREAM OF SPACE, Erin Entrada Kelly’s emotionally powerful story centered around the lives of three siblings and the tragedy of the 1986 CHALLENGER mission. Published by Harper Audio.
