Listening is Learning

I’m almost finished listening to Artemis, by Andy Weir, Narrated by Rosario Dawson.

Very good book for doing laundry, dishes, and copying the addresses of convalescent homes into mapquest.

How was your day?

Anyhow, I’m not enjoying the super long, super technical, super boring ending (Ch 14 is the PITS), so I’m taking a break.

Also, I have questions:

1) Does Rosario say ‘t’s in real life? Because the main character, Jasmin, definitely doesn’.

2) Is it professionally an okay choice to keep dialog tags in the voice/dialect of the character, instead of the narrator?

3) In a professionally produced audiobook, who makes the call that a “mistake” is ok and no one will notice?

Those are things I’m pondering.
