In a fluke of strange and unenlightening searches for something completely different I came across this product for sale at amazon.com.

Speech and Debate [Dramatized] [Unabridged] [Audible Audio Edition]
by Stephen Karam (Author), Andrea Bowen (Narrator), Reed Diamond (Narrator), Nora Dunn (Narrator), Bobby Steggert (Narrator), Gideon Glick (Narrator), Andre Sogliuzzo (Narrator)

Apparently LA Theatre Works records plays in front of a live audience and then broadcasts them on the radio on various NPR stations and the like. The announcement for this play (done in 2008) is here.

Reed's part is small--just the first scene, but what happens in that scene and in the past involving his character is central to the play. However the nature of the character he plays may press hot buttons for some people. So I've put further information (which, by necessity, contains spoilers)behind a cut. The bottom line is--you can hear Reed's part of the play if you don't mind the subject matter.

You'll need to scroll down past the stuff you've already read to read on--sorry.
