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.

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.
