“Was never a huge audiobook fan until a friend recommended Scaramouche to me, and now I’m absolutely hooked! The narrator just makes the story come alive, and is so talented with the different voices! Thank you so much for making some of these full length novels free.”

“Love listening to these classic books but what makes BJ stand out is his insights into his and his family’s life. Those “personal moments” take only a few minutes and made me smile. People that don’t want that bit can FF a few minutes - now I have to go elsewhere to find them - please put them...”Read full review »

“The stories are, of course, classic and there's a great variety But the narration is what makes them compelling. I've unsubscribed to a number of "stories" podcasts where the narration was stilted or unconvincing. BJ Harrison's stories are rich and lively, with wonderful...”Read full review »

“I’ve gotten used to skipping to the 3 minute mark to avoid all the blather. Recently, however, it became apparent the narrator believes we are too stupid to dis-associate the quasi racists epitaphs of a story created in the 1920’s with modern sensibilities. In the fictional Buck Rogers story the...”Read full review »

“The politically correct commentary on the stories got tiresome - especially when it’s completely off base. The self-aggrandizement and personal sharing got tiresome. It’s too bad, because the selection of stories was very good. To be a good reader/narrator one needs to melt into the background,...”Read full review »

“Where BJ shines is especially apparent in Wodehouse stories. If I were reading the story the humor would not be as evident. The way the host/narrator interprets and develops characters brings out the humor. Frustrating to have to wait a week. Thanks for the positive experience!”
