LANDOVER, Md. (PRWEB) February 06, 2018 -- Four of RBmedia’s US publishing brands were honored with nominations in this year’s Audies® competition. Recorded Books, HighBridge Audio, Tantor Media, and Christian Audio received 19 nominations across more than a dozen categories.

To receive 19 nominations across 13 different award categories is a true testament to the talent of our narrators and the diversity we bring to the audiobook industry.
