Changed my world forever.
I’ve been listening to this podcast faithfully for years now, but somehow have overlooked writing a review. This podcast has opened my eyes to the beautiful world of literature. A world I previously thought was only for a privileged few. It’s introduced me to beautiful works of art, such as Hannah Coulter, Howard’s End, and Brideshead Revisited. It’s made me appreciate books that were not comfortable reads for me like Crossing to Safety. Most importantly, this podcast has changed the way I read and helped me deepen my appreciation for the written word in in a way that no English class could have ever accomplished. Being lead through these great works of literature by such knowledgeable host has helped change my understanding of the world around me.
