Genre Spotlight: Non-fiction
“In this symphonic origin story of an era-defining politician, Dan Chiasson, a Burlington native who had a ringside seat to Bernie Sanders’s development, reconstructs the rise of an American icon. With in-depth reporting and remarkable remembered scenes, Chiasson tracks a faint political signal that traveled from the Vermont communes, hardluck neighborhoods, traditional businesses, and county fairs to the town meetings and ballot boxes of his home state, and finally to Washington, D.C., to transform our national political landscape.”
“revelatory” - The New Yorker
“few political books are this well written” - Kirkus
“marvelously rich” - Washington Monthly
It was an honor to narrate Bernie for Burlington by Dan Chiasson for PRH Audio, directed by Scott Sherratt. This has become one of my absolute favorite projects I've ever worked on. Splitting time between Vermont and Brooklyn for many years, I felt particularly close to this remarkable new book about the "People's Politician" in the Brave Little State of Vermont. I was thrilled to get to meet Dan at a recent book signing in Brooklyn.
"Packed with surprising, little-known facts, graphic details, and unforgettable personalities, Gangsters vs. Nazis chronicles the mob's most ruthless tactics in taking down fascism-inspiring ordinary Americans to join them in their fight."
This was an eye-opening and timely book to narrate about fascism in America and the stories of some of those who fought hardest to prevent it back in the 1930s.
"Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power."
One of my favorite things about narrating non-fiction is that each book is a crash course for me on a new topic. This excellent title by Boyce Upholt tells stories from along every bend in the Mississippi, the struggles to contain it, and the generations of the peoples who have lived in its delta and traveled its waters.

multicasts
Like old time radio plays, multicasts are the modern equivalent. Featuring multiple performers, sound effects and music, they are incredibly fun to record and one of my favorite kinds of projects to be a part of.

reviews
"Tantor Audio’s edition...is fabulous. The narrator, Gabriel Vaughan, is required to be quite versatile with accents and cadence due to all of the different styles of stories. He added a lot of humor with his performance. Just fabulous."
"This review is for the audiobook narrated by Gabriel Vaughan who makes it all the more fun all while making sure that the reader knows that this really is nonfiction!
This is the way that nonfiction history OUGHT to be presented!"
Gabriel Vaughan becomes each [character] making the story easy to follow. The emotions are palpable and the narration is fluid. Gabriel Vaughan does a good job at holding your attention without letting go.” -audiobookreviewer.com
"Vaughan narrates with consistency; his steady voice guides the historic narrative...Vaughan's tone remains comfortable throughout; he keeps emotions in check, never imitating anyone except for one outstanding part in which he describes a rally whose audience contains a heckler. Vaughan's solid and even-keeled narration works well with Prendergast's topic and writing.
