“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 »

“Having a difficult time reading for reasons beyond my control, I am grateful for this salvation. In times gone by, I was an avid reader and always enjoyed the unveiling of the story. Now, I find the same pleasure in listening to Jon’s readings. Five Stars and accolades galore!”

“I stumbled across 1001 Short Stories & Tales podcast about a year ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve never been much of a reader so having this podcast has been an eye-opening experience to all the great writers and classic short story literature out there. Jon is not only a great...”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.”

“John, I have always liked the stories of O. Henry. You got the spirit of the tale if how a kids held two grown men hostage ending up with them having to pay Red Chief’s father to take his kid off their hands.
Well read,

“In his preamble to the Jack London story “The Unparalleled Invasion “ the host states that the Covid virus was released from a lab in Wuhon, China. There is no evidence that this is true, yet he states it like it is a fact. The host should stick to just introducing the stories.”
