Publisher's Summary
[Contains explicit content] Sounds Like America is a wild sound collage of the United States as seen by the people who know it best and tell it like it really is: comedians.
Hosted by a rotating cast of seasoned comics, each episode covers a different American pastime, region, city, characteristic, or zeitgeist. The show opens with a host introduction, followed by a sound collage that features stand-up comedy, funny interviews with special guests and folks on the street, and even local music. It’s a hilarious (and sometimes touching) tribute to our complicated country.

Great Lineup
A series of sets having different stories about particular regions of the US. The material is funny, the other reviewers have been
A) An elderly woman
B) A rational fan of a different generation of comics
C) A self-important comment section warrior who seems to have heard a singular joke that hurt his feelings, and then proceeded to go on a tirade.
Give it a listen, form your own opinion. Try and enjoy your day

comedy clift notes of the USofA
A fast humerous, clift note view of the USofA thru the eyes of many stand up comedians.
Since I recently retired, and am currenty making a bottomless bucket list, Traveling around the USofA is pn the list. These humerous views of places add to my bucket.

Mindless Anti-American drivel posing as comedy.
Felt more like a bland and politically correct commentary of America you’d hear on NPR than an actual comedy show. An incredibly candid moment of honesty at one point in the audiobook where this one guy says comedians are just very sad people floating through life seeking validation. You can hear the biggest moments of applause and adulation from the audiences didn’t come from any actual jokes but from condescending holier-than-thou put downs against ordinary Americans as a bunch racist and xenophobic simpletons. If you want real comedy stay away from this PC garbage and go listen to Kevin Hart, Joe Rogan and Daniel Tosh

What an adventure
At first I thought, I’ve hiked plenty, what’s this kid’s story going to be as a rookie ?
What an adventure!! So well described where I felt I was on the trail with you. I had my own trail name while in this book. I recalled my own trips and the settings to imagine yours.
Thank you for sharing your story.

Riveting Introduction to the GenreeaOutstanding Writing And Narrator
I'm a blind individual so although I do enjoy online games, I'm limited to interactive fiction and multiuser dungeons, relics from the 90S and early 2000S. When I discovered the genre of lit rpg, I thought it would allow me to live vicariously through protagonists created for these sorts of stories. Wow! I must say that this was an excellent introduction to the genre. It was fast-paced, humorous, and engaging. I was hooked from the beginning when the main character, Carl, was gruff and somewhat unrefined and cursed like a sailor. When his cat becomes a talking cat, they became a true partnership, and despite their inevitable clashes, they worked together, making up for one another's skill deficits, to basically stick it to the folks who are running the game that these characters found themselves in. I was also blown away by the narrator. He is able to create voices that are believable and consistent throughout. Most impressive of all is his ability to perform female voices. If you're looking for a great intro to this genre and don't mind some colorful language, this one is a keeper. I couldn't put it down and read it in a single day, and this is from a gal who regularly skips to the ending of a story to see how the story wraps up because the middle seems like so much reading to do for what feels like so little reward.

I thought they were supposed to be comedians
apparently all of these people were actually working comedians comedies like music everybody has different taste. but most of these quote on quote comedians tasted awful does comedy suck as bad as music today I guess I'm just getting old. I'll stick with my Rodney Dangerfield George Carlin Eddie Murphy Richard Pryor and of course Robin Williams yes all the great ones are dead and the new ones haven't learned shitt from them
