Some stories are richer when read aloud. In Geekery and Wine: The First Case, award-winning narrator Colby Elliott takes listeners on a journey that could only exist as an audiobook. By performing his own story in his trademark blend of humor, warmth and nerdy enthusiasm, Elliott delivers a listening experience that feels less like a memoir and more like a lively conversation with an old friend.

From nostalgic Dungeons & Dragons campaigns to real-life lessons in “adulting,” Geekery and Wine: The First Case showcases Elliott’s ability to connect with listeners — not just as a narrator but as a fellow geek, gamer, father and friend.

“The audiobook as a whole ended up being this tapestry of stories,” Elliott said in a recent interview. “Mostly, I think we all belong in each other’s stories, collaborating and trying to make the world a little better.”

Geekery and Wine: The First Case features an eclectic blend of Gen-X nostalgia and geek culture deep‑dives paired with wine recommendations and behind-the-scenes commentary — occasionally accompanied by a celebrity name-drop.

The audiobook offers a warm and witty listening experience that will appeal to anyone who loves video games and graphic novels, as well as amateur sommeliers and those curious about audiobook production and narration.

So don a Dr. Who t-shirt, raise a glass and join Elliott for a nerd-powered journey through geek pastures, wine country and audiobook wizardry.

“The current world is tense and unpredictable. Geekery and Wine is about finding joy and sharing it with others,” Elliott said. “This is something different, something subtle and happy. Consume responsibly!”
