Miscellaneous: Blackbird

James Callis has put out an audiobook called ‘A.K.A Blackbird (A Life- in bits)’ that he wrote, directed and partially narrated. It is available to purchase on Apple Books, Google Play and Storytel, and it features the voices of a lot of the BSG cast (list below). If you can’t find it by searching the title, try searching for James Callis, that’s how I found it. You can listen to a preview/sample before purchasing.

BSG Cast members: Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Jamie Bamber, Katee Sackhoff, James Callis, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, Aaron Douglas, Tahmoh Penikett, Alessandro Juliani, Michael Trucco, Rekha Sharma, Kandyse McClure, Kerry Norton-Griffith.
NOTE: The front cover looks different on Apple, Google and Storytel, it’s a space helmet with an astronaut inside.

Hopefully these links work …..

Apple Books (US Store) You will need to search for it if you’re in a different country.
