History of Literature
This is a fabulous podcast! I give it an enthusiastic 5 star rating. Since I discovered it a few weeks ago, I have downloaded every episode and listened to over 30 of them. Jacke is the perfect host--warm, witty, personable and entertaining, all the while interviewing fascinating authors, introducing his listeners to great new authors, or discussing classics. Every podcast is a treat to listen to. I urge you to subscribe so that you don't miss a single podcast. I save mine so I can re-listen to them, and frankly, I'm dreading the day when I reach the final episode. To fortify myself against that day, I have ordered from Amazon Jacke's two novellas, THE RACE and THE PROMOTION, and am eagerly looking forward to reading them. Bottom line: A brilliant podcast by an exceptional human being.Read full review »

Meditations and conversations that explore the vast terrain of literature. Jacke is a steady guide who knows how to point out the good stuff. Often whimsical, reliably poignant, and never dull, The History of Literature is an eavesdropper's mother lode.Read full review »

Excellent! Except for 83: Mike actually says Don Quixote has no feeling! That’s right up there with Eliot stating: ‘Hamlet is an aesthetic failure.’

Too chatty, too little information, too much meaningless banter in the three episodes I picked. Am not tempted to give this podcast another try.
