Mason on Narrating His Own Story

“Recording Crazy Lucky was the first time I allowed myself to slow down and relive the miles between the headlines,” Mason said. “I chose to narrate it because these aren’t just stories—they’re promises kept. I’m thrilled the audiobook is out now and grateful to share it with listeners everywhere.”
