11 years ago on April 26th, 2014, Debra Deyan and P.J. Ochlan founded the Deyan Institute in honor of Bob Deyan’s memory and passion for audiobook production. Since then, it’s been such an incredible journey of collaboration and community.
In celebration, we want to give a huge shoutout to our awesome team at Deyan Institute who always put 100% into every masterclass and event. We’re so honored to continue our journey of audiobook production education with you.

Dear Bob
Today marks the 10th Anniversary of your passing. I know you are happy in heaven making angels laugh and enjoying whatever is on the other side. Thank you for the 25 years of blissful marriage, for the lessons you taught me and for all the love and laughter we shared. There will never be another like you!
