“I love the stories but couldn’t care less about your “personal life.” People don’t come to this podcast for that. Start another podcast if you feel it is necessary. Also, there is no need to apologize for these great works of art by authors who more important than you. PLUS, their writing gives...”Read full review »

I’m appalled at the nasty review someone gave a few weeks ago and all I can say is if...”Read full review »

“First I must admit that I like the personal stories and was poking around trying to figure out why they ceased. I’m guessing the host took the criticisms to heart and eliminated them. That’s too bad. I thought it was a nice touch. I was happy to contribute to his son’s student residency recently....”Read full review »

“The show is interesting. The introductory drooling about his personal life of the host is so annoying as to make this podcast un-listenable. I don’t care about his GodZilla wife or annoying children. Just play the stories and talk ‘a lot’ less. A lot, lot less. And I especially don’t care about...”Read full review »

“BJ Harrison is a pro at what he does. Some of the stories are just ok, but when he gets his hands on a really good story he can have you on the edge of your seat and waiting impatiently for the next chapter to be released.”

“Since the podcast began, BJ Harrison has been a good storyteller and narrator — and I think in the past couple of years he has risen to another level. He is truly at the top of the narration game (if there is such a thing). Voice, pacing, emotion — he’s got it down. Some books that I have had to...”Read full review »

“These are the worst part of this podcast. if I choose one of the stories I have to skip ahead to avoid this. If people really want to hear about your life maybe make separate entries. I must miss the PC narratives, so I guess that is another reason to skip the intro. I don’t listen to all the...”Read full review »

“Excellent quality of production with a wide variety of content to keep you interested. It tends toward the macabre from time to time, especially in the fall around Halloween, but if you want to get a wide look at literature in audio format, it’s hard to beat.”

Thank you

“BJ Harrison introduced me to the joy of listening to books. He does not read books. He tells the story the author wrote. BJ brings the characters to life. His accents and voices are brilliant. I get lost in his voice and find my self seeing the story clearly in my minds eye.
He is an award...”Read full review »

As the stories are sometimes ones written when some ideas were tolerated more than they should have been, I applaud his approach to these issues and his personal touch. I’m hooked!!...”Read full review »

“I’ve gotten used to skipping to the 3 minute mark to avoid all the blather.

In the fictional Buck Rogers story the...”Read full review »
