Turning Left at Albuquerque is a new weekly audiobook podcast about a man named Jason, and he’s just been sacked from his job. Once he gets home, we experience Jason’s life as he goes through the paces of learning to deal with the whole situation.

Now, I gotta come clean; I have known the author Mary R Higgins through the internet for nearly a year now - I originally got to know her through our shared fandom of The Guild, the online web series. I follow her on Twitter and FriendFeed, and I get a charge out of her wry wit and silly humor - but I did not know that she was an author until recently.

Some of you may already know of her; she goes by worldofhiglet online, and if you follow The Guild or Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, you’ve more than likely come across her name, be it through her blog posts, her name streaking across Twitter, or her videos on YouTube, she certainly does spend a good deal of time online - which is full of win for everyone.

This spring I learned that she was working on releasing her latest book in audiobook format for free consumption as a promotional medium for her work.  At first I was not exactly sure what she was talking about when she started promoting a chapter from something she called “Turning Left at Albuquerque”, but as usual my curiosity wins and this time I struck gold - I am really enjoying this series.

… no worries folks, there are no spoilers beyond the jump.
