“I was introduced to this podcast as an English Literature and Writing major interested in lecture style teachings on the subjects I was already studying for school. Wilson’s podcast offers insightful supplementary knowledge, but is far from comprehensive, considering the first 25 to 30 minutes of his show are spent rambling. There are too many unrelated personal anecdotes, digressions, and political asides for my liking. Wilson is your typical pseudo-intellectualist/literary radical who thinks he’s endlessly clever, inserting political bias into great written works that need no further embellishment. I’ll continue listening to the podcast as it is interesting (once you get past the interminable “intro”), but prefer less ostentatious productions like Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast (highly, highly recommend, it’s wonderful)!”

His delivery is confessional - I feel as if he is whispering in my ear, telling me secrets about so many things. I missed out on studying literature in college and I...”Read full review »
