A Treasure
I discovered The History of Literature about two years ago, and have been a true fan ever since. Learning the intricacies of plot-lines and back stories, of writers’ lives and loves, enriches my understanding of so many classics that I never had the time to read. Jacke Wilson - while he doesn’t have a typical ‘radio voice’ - has a winning personality that never disappoints. He’s witty, conversational (with his foil Mike Palindrome) and can simultaneously inform and amuse. His self-deprecating nature won me over from the beginning, and I had to listen to his prior episodes, just to get enough of his quirky humor, lol! At the end of each episode, I feel both smarter and sated. You know those questionnaires where they ask what famous person (or not so famous person) would you like to have a dinner conversation with? My answer: Jacke Wilson!

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 »
