“Not every story is for every listener and that’s cool, it’s the same way with all the short story anthology podcasts. I happen to like the pared-down, single narrator style of each episode because my goal is to fall asleep while listening. That being said, I don’t love the narrator’s tendency...”Read full review »

“You guys give up on us? Vacation? Sigh Ask for feed back? Kate, it's all the above. You got stellar production Wide rage in writers. They too have wide spectrum, only other podcast? With this type, they hit about one of two, sometimes less, sometimes more, Kate is the rock of production,...”Read full review »

It is truly a shame that one of the oldest, most beloved sci-fi magazine podcasts ever produced is no longer...”Read full review »

“The stories are well curated, but it is listening to Kate Baker that raises Clarkesworld from very good to sublime. To quote my wife, who would never listen to speculative fiction but for me subjecting her to it on road trips, "I can always listen to Kate. Her voice is so soothing."”Read full review »

“Many of the stories are amazing, and there are just so many stories! They range from excellent to terrible, making it hard to wade through.

“I’ve listened to many, many stories. Binging.
The stories are good and the voice of the reader can add to the experience.
I can only listen to 3 or 4 stories before I have to stop.
The problem is how softly ( low volume) she gets. Her normal speaking voice is good, easy to understand.
But she’s...”Read full review »

“If an author’s sexual orientation and lifestyle choices are more important than writing ability, then this is the podcast for you. Virtually every story introduction is seized as an opportunity to shove these irrelevancies into your face. It is boring, monotonous, and completely unnecessary.”

The thing that makes this podcast exceptional though is Kate. Hands down best narrator of all the podcasts I’ve been listening to....”Read full review »

“I believe it’s a style choice that the narrator changes the volume of her voice. To me it’s a form of manipulation that I don’t enjoy. I don’t want to be manipulated by the narrator, I want the story to drive the action. So, after many tries, I give up. It’s simply too much work to hear.”
