My favourite podcast
I adore this podcast. I may not always agree with Jacke, but his take on books and poetry is always interesting and to the point. His delivery is confessional - I feel as if he is whispering in my ear, telling me secrets about so many things. Every episode is a mind-expanding experience - even the books I thought I knew are widened in scope by Jacke and Mike. Excellent interviews with authors, too. Loved particularly the episodes on Blake, Checkov, Bob Hernon, and of course, the bad poetry one that had me laughing out loud in the street.

Jacke is so funny and earnest and it’s a pleasure to listen to him every week—it feels like you’re just chatting with a friend about books! Favorite podcast by far.

I think the part I like the most about this show is the author's vocal style, which always seems just on the edge of being tongue-in-cheek, while still delivering solid musings and reflections on some of the greatest works in the literary canon.Read full review »
