“I have literally been reading Agatha Christie since I was 8 years old! Her easy yet complicated stories are the perfect antidote to going stir crazy. Thank you! And I just love Phoebe’s voice! Such a joy to listen to. On the other hand, I do not like Avery Trufelman’s voice or delivery. Her...”Read full review »

“Phoebe is the best of all ‘readers’ of the great classics. Her voice and delivery are perfect.
I’ve listened to all 25 classics, and encouraged friends and family to do the same. They enjoy them too.
I so miss Phoebe Reads a Mystery. They are my favorites above all her other podcasts.
Please...”Read full review »

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 »

“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.

“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 »
