“Please stop using the sound effects and background music. At times I could barely hear the audio of the story. At other points the sound effects made no sense, like jungle noises when the story said the jungle was quiet, or gunshots occurring several sentences after they were mentioned. I’d much...”Read full review »

“Jon - loved, loved, loved your rendition of The Tenor! Your creation of the tenor’s voice and accent was so entertaining, and the end was so appropriate given the personalities of all involved!!”

“If John isn’t a grandfather sat in an armchair by the fire, I don’t want to know.
Stories are well read, produced and rarely contain mistakes.
A classic voice, with excellent stories.”

“This is my go to favourite podcast for short fiction. I really like the narration style of giving the characters different voices rather than using fake accents. I am trying not to burn through the episodes too quickly but I can always start over at the beginning when I run out of episodes. It’s...”Read full review »

“The reader allows the listener to imagine there own details surrounding the story.
Not clouded with superfluous music and “effects” which can distract the listener from the intent of the original authors.
Keep up the great work”

“Such a great podcast! I don't subscribe to many, but 1001 Classic Short Stories and Tales is one. Though I like to read, I had largely forgotten about the authors of the past. But Jon has brought life to many authors whom I had known by name, but not by their work. The Robin Hood stories...”Read full review »

“Many stories are of value, but they often seem chosen from the same limited sets of authors, presumably those the amateur curator is familiar with, and often covering very minor, inferior stories by authors who also had a few great ones rather than trying to cover more truly great works by a...”Read full review »

“As a younger member of society, I sometimes fear I will be trapped in a time isolated from the past and our rich culture. This podcast relieves my worries as it is a cultural library in its own right. Many of our culture’s secret and high-quality literary works can be found right here.”
