I don't actually listen to a lot of stories read out loud, but LeVar Burton is a truly amazing reader, and his podcast highlights a truly diverse selection of writers. His latest podcast features a Tananariv Due short story
http://www.levarburtonpodcast.com/
which is doubly exciting because 1, I love her writing, and 2, she will be the guest of honor at this year's Readercon.

Note that the previous story read by Burton, titled "Miracle," features a blind character and was written by a Nigerian writer. Burton also reads a lot of speculative fiction, but I haven't delved very far back into the archived podcasts yet.

Another major plus for Burton's podcast: check out all the ways you can access it, including through a very accessible
online player. Burton is so cool, sometimes I forget he isn't actually blind.

He is a great narrator, and he knows it, and revels in it, and uses his fame to boost new writers, and it's like being drowned in very wonderful chocolate.
