Wished for better…
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 greater variety of authors. The claim that the stories are “family friendly” is belied by the inclusion of a Jack London story which was outrageously genocidal and racist, with little serious contextualization or analysis, along with many of Kipling’s more mildly racist works. Minor criticism: the pronunciation of certain words is occasionally odd. The podcast world could use a better story list, narrated and curated by someone more expert in world literature history, and languages.

More reviews of 1001 Classic Short Stories & Tales
I have listened to a few story podcasts and this one is the best by far! Jon has a voice that pulls you in and immerses you in the stories. Would highly recommend for anyone who needs something to listen to on a road trip or cleaning your house, it keeps your mind occupied and intrigued.

I listen to this podcast on my way to work. I decided to walk to work everyday a few months ago, and this podcast makes the walk very pleasant. Thank you! Great stories.
