How To Talk To Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere: The Secrets of Good Communication
Larry King · 2002
🎙 Narrated by Larry King
63/100
👎 Skip It
Larry King's charm carries this one, full of great behind-the-mic anecdotes from a career spent interviewing everyone, but the actual advice stays fairly surface-level. Worth knowing the audiobook is an abridged edition (about 80 minutes) — King's own narration is comfortable and familiar, but you're getting a condensed slice of the book.

🎙 Narration: good Narrated by King himself in his familiar broadcast voice, but this is an abridged edition condensed from the print book.
