       😕 this must be a joke. The American Library Association’s Odyssey Award committee named Alex L. Comb’s and Andrew Eakett’s Trans History the 2026 Odyssey Award winner for young adults!Trans History is a deeply researched introduction to trans history—from ancient times to the present day—that features a broad range of voices. Conversations with modern activists, scholars, and creatives highlight the breadth of current trans experiences and give listeners a deeper sense of the diversity of and between trans people. Andrew Eakett skillfully leads the full cast of narrators, with carefully crafted soundscapes that transport listeners throughout centuries of history. Trans History is producer Iris McElroy’s first and Juan Garcia Ticoulat’s first Odyssey win. “Listening to [the Trans History] audiobook is like spending a few hours with your favorite teacher. Narrator Andrew Eakett is supported by a full cast who take listeners on a comprehensive journey through a history of trans identities. Eakett’s narration is engaging, knowledgeable, and funny as he shares key terminology, historical examples, and compelling stories of people ranging from Roman emperors to the icons of the Stonewall Riots and to present-day figures from cultures around the world.”  —AudioFile Magazine  https://penguinrandomhouseaudio.com/posts/trans-history-wins-the-2026-odyssey-award-soundtrack-and-whale-eyes-take-odyssey-honors/
