Audible Studios, a production arm of Audible.com, today
announced its forthcoming release of Promise Me, Dad: A Year of
Hope, Hardship, and Purpose, written and performed by Vice
President Joe Biden. The memoir delivers a powerful account of
2015, by any measure a watershed year in Vice President Biden’s
extraordinary life and career. Exclusive content available only on
the Audible recording includes a powerful conversation with
award-winning journalist Mike Barnicle. The discussion
contextualizes the memoir’s wide-ranging themes, covering the
presidential election, current events, and grappling with profound
grief. The audiobook is available for preorder at
www.audible.com/biden.
A listening experience made visceral and intimate by Biden’s own
voice, Promise Me, Dad chronicles the twelve months when the vice
president balanced the twin imperatives of living up to his
responsibilities to his country and focusing on his family while
his son Beau battled brain cancer. Never far away was the insistent
question of whether he should seek the presidency in 2016. Vice
President Biden’s poignant delivery allows readers to feel the
urgency of each moment, to experience the days when he felt unable
to move forward, as well as the days when he felt like he could not
afford to stop.
“Not only does Vice President Biden give us an important and
inspiring work about perseverance in the face of insurmountable
grief and loss, but the combination of his voice and his words
creates an unforgettable experience for the listener,” said Audible
Chief Content Officer Andy Gaies.
“We’re also thrilled to offer our listeners an exclusive
conversation between the Vice President and Mike Barnicle, to add
further insight into Joe Biden and what he stands for,” added
Gaies. “This captivating discussion, available only on the Audible
version, demonstrates to listeners the unique and exciting
possibilities that Audible’s format offers.”
