“My personal opinion is that Phoebe is a great interviewer and story teller but not that great at narrating someone else’s work.”

“I had just been thinking while listening to criminal “I wish she narrated books!” Then BAM!…she started reading books to me. I could listen for hours, and have, to her tell real stories or read fictional books. I recommend the podcasts to everyone who’ll let me talk about them. Keep them coming...”Read full review »

“Phoebe has a lovely soothing voice which is a pleasure to listen to. I also enjoy most of the novels which she selects. I will say, however, that there are rather a shocking number of mispronunciations. Her French is quite dreadful, but, more surprisingly, there are many mispronounced English...”Read full review »

“I know that the team works very hard and Phoebe is an excellent reader, and listening to the little Cricket chirping softly throughout The Picture of Dorian Gray is such a treat. Thanks for letting the Cricket be part of the show!”

“Phoebe is a mood. A calm mood, and at times I wish to feel tense. I also love classic novels and am sometimes too tense to read them myself. This series helped preserve my sanity during the pandemic. She’s an incredible narrator and I hope this series continues!”

“I like the format, selections and narration BUT the number of mispronounced words is rather amazing. Everything else about the podcast is very professional so it really, really detracts when they regularly appear. Season 11 examples: divan, Ptolemy, desserts and more. These aren’t difficult words.”

“I’ve been introduced to so many authors! Can’t face the real news til I have had a dose of Queen Phoebe! I have tried a few books on tape and couldn’t stand them-either they read too slow, or the attempt at different accents were painful. Phoebe does it just right!”

“I still listen almost every night to go to sleep. Eventually, I’ll probably hear all of every book. ;)
I have trouble reading some of these classics so it’s actually been awesome to hear them. And I like that Phoebe doesn’t try to do voices, that can get so distracting with other readers.

“I absolutely adore Phoebe Reads. Arsène Lupin is one of my favourites. These audio stories have made many a long day pass well. Through migraines and post COVID fatigue and fibromyalgia brain fog, Phoebe Reads has kept despair away.

“Phoebe, your voice is wonderful and you read beautifully, but you might want to check on how some foreign words are pronounced. Monsieur is pronounced ‘mehs-siur’, not ‘mone-siur’. Victoir is pronounced ‘Vic-twa ’ not ‘Vic-tor’. It was really distracting. I follow your other podcasts and notice...”Read full review »

“For many reasons, my attention to Phoebe’s voice: cadence, pronunciation, diction, and emotional undertones, makes me relaxed. Sometimes I listen to chapters twice. So far Dracula and Jane Eyre are my favorites. I do fall asleep, for which I am eternally grateful.”
