Stick with Teen Creeps

“Sorry to leave a lukewarm review, but I have such mixed feelings about this podcast.
If you've listened to and loved Teen Creeps, be assured that Lindsay, Kelly and guests are funny as always. There's also an interesting selection of stories read aloud, some of them excellent and quite new to me. So I keep listening, even though...
To me, the big thing that separates the tone of Public Domain Theater from Teen Creeps is that on that other podcast they (usually) seem to make an effort to see the positive in the books they read, even when they're pretty crappy. Here, however, they don't afford the short stories they read the same generosity, but constantly criticize and carp about everything.
Rather than read and evaluate them on their own terms, they seem to always demand a certain style of storytelling and writing, and will complain whenever a story spends – in their view – too much time setting the stage, or jumps ahead too quickly without enough context, requiring readers to catch up, or ends too abruptly, leaving things too ambiguous, to take just three of their most common criticisms. (The common thread seems to be a certain impatience on their part.) I often feel like shouting at them, "If you don't like these kinds of stories, why do you have a podcast where you have to read them?!"
Worse, the things they complain about are often things they've misunderstood or failed to grasp, such as Biblical allusions or simply words they don't know, and it can be excruciatingly annoying to listen to them go on and on when they're wrong or uninformed.
A lot of these problems are no doubt due to the format, where they have to come up with something funny to say in real time about a story they've never read before, but maybe that's just not a great format for a podcast?”Read full review »

“They are so funny and as an added bonus I end up hearing of new authors to read! I have a Sherwood Anderson book from the library now because of their amazing read-through of “The Egg.” I first listened to this because of their episode reading Virginia Woolf and through this heard of their...”Read full review »
