“The podcaster reads in a compelling and soothing deep tone, with delightful character voices, a very brief introduction of the author and perhaps a slice of some other relevant background, then gets right to it. Fantastic selections that include both well and lesser known works, good length, well...”Read full review »

“Most reviews mention the narrator's voice, for good reason. His voice is deep and resonant, yet friendly and encouraging. I particularly like when he reads lighter humor like Mark Twain and O. Henry, because his baritone somehow plays perfectly to the dramatic irony.
Sound effects are used...”Read full review »
