“This was the first podcast I have ever experienced. I am pleased that I did so. Thanks to the mysteries of social media algorithms, I recently saw Faith’s post on X (announcing this idea) and promptly decided to ask my daughter for her well-read copy of Jane Eyre and participate in the endeavor. Literature is fantastic, I have always loved it, but I’ve never read Jane Eyre: this was a chance to do something fun, educational, participatory, and new.
You should listen to this podcast, and read the book, too! I read chapter 1 today while waiting to pick up a kid from school, before I listened to the podcast. But that preparation is not necessary. During the podcast, Faith will read each chapter to you. She has a lovely voice, warm and kind. She articulates the text nicely, reading the words for those who are unable to do so - or maybe prefer to hear Faith’s commentary interspersed with the narration at challenging passages of text.
The first episode is 18 minutes, with perhaps 5 minutes of introduction to the process of weekly podcasts, and 12-13 minutes of delightful reading. This is a superb way to spend 18 minutes. It is time spent connecting with other people, and with a novel that has survived and thrived since it was first published in 1847. Like me, you will be glad to proceed week-by-week and chapter-by-chapter with other like-minded literary adventurers, capably narrated by Faith K. Moore. Highly recommended.”
