PRH Audio’s Iconic 2025 GRAMMY® Nominees: Parton & Streisand
On Friday, November 8, the 2025 GRAMMY® nominations were announced and Penguin Random House Audio is excited to announce that two of their audiobooks are spotlighted. Dolly Parton’s BEHIND THE SEAMS and Barbra Streisand’s MY NAME IS BARBRA, both read by the authors and published by Penguin Random House Audio, have earned 2025 Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording GRAMMY® Award nominations.
In BEHIND THE SEAMS: My Life in Rhinestones, global superstar Dolly Parton shares, for the first time, the full story behind her lifelong passion for fashion, including how she developed her own distinctly Dolly style, which has defied convention and endeared her to fans around the world. The audiobook is an immersive listening experience featuring over 30 of Dolly’s beloved songs as well as archival interviews and performance clips. It includes personal stories from Dolly herself with additional narration by Rebecca Seaver and Holly George-Warren, as well as contributions from many of Dolly’s lifelong fashion collaborators: Allister Ann, Ann Roth, Art Streiber, Aurelia, Bobbe Joy, Cheryl Riddle, Debra McGuire, Fran Strine, Iisha Lemming, Jason Pirro, Jim Herrington, Randee St Nicholas, Riley Hanratty, Robert Behar, Stacia Lang, Stacie Huckeba, Steve Summers, Timothy White, and Vance Nichols. Dolly Parton has 10 previous GRAMMYs® and 55 nominations. BEHIND THE SEAMS was produced on audio by Dan Zitt, SVP, Content Production, PRH Audio, and is also available in print from Ten Speed Press.
Ten years in the making, MY NAME IS BARBRA encapsulates EGOT winner Barbra Streisand’s six-decade career as a singer, actor, and director, as well as her personal life. In My Name Is Barbra, she tells her own story about her life and extraordinary career, from growing up in Brooklyn to her first star-making appearances in New York nightclubs to her breakout performance in Funny Girl on stage and winning the Oscar for that performance on film. The audiobook is, like Barbra herself, frank, funny, opinionated, and charming—the 48-hour recording includes many spontaneous reflections and anecdotes exclusive to the audiobook and incorporates over 40 pieces of her music. Barbra Streisand has won eight GRAMMYs® and earned a further 48 nominations, including another 2025 nomination in Best Song Written for Visual Media for “Love Will Survive” from “The Tattooist of Auschwitz.” My Name Is Barbra was produced by Karen Dziekonski, VP, Audio Production, and Matie Argiropoulos, Director, Pre-Production & Executive Producer, Audio Publishing Group, and is also available in print from Viking. The nominations were announced today by the Recording Academy®.
The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards® will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on Sunday, February 2, 2025. Penguin Random House Audio titles have previously earned 19 GRAMMYs®, including the 2024 Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording winner, Michelle Obama’s The Light We Carry, and 54 additional GRAMMY® nominations.
Congratulations to our nominees, their production teams, and the entire Penguin Random House Audio group. Fingers crossed for more sweet sounds on February 2, at the GRAMMY® night ceremony.
