“I love the curation of the short stories and the selection of the writers to read them. The writers bring such insight to their readings. There are so many magical moments hearing brilliant writers talk about brilliant stories in brilliant conversation with the New York fiction editor. . It is...”Read full review »

“I have just discovered this podcast. I listen to George Saunders discussing Claire Keegan‘s story so late in the day. It was one of the most moving stories and discussions. I’ve heard anywhere. I’m still crying. Thank you. Sara”

“I was itching for more reading/listening material to stir the emotions. I’ve only listened to the latest episode (Love Letter), but I can already tell the itch has been scratched. Hopefully, the backlog will be enough material to keep me occupied.”

“Such a great show! You grow my mind while I work growing my garden. The hens enjoy the lilt and rhythm of conversation too. So fortunate to be able to access such high quality artists at without cost or crazy ads. Thank you to Deborah and The NYer team.”

“I love the discussion before and afterward the story as it enhances my appreciation of the writing. Sometimes I even go back and listen to the story again after the discussion and appreciate it even more. Sometimes I struggle to listen if the reader has a strong accent, but that is rare. The host...”Read full review »

“André Alexis's selection and reading of Alice Munro's story "Before The Change" is engrossing, and superbly performed. I still miss his CBC radio program "Skylarking'. He is a very good writer himself, and an astute reader of other's work. This is a complex story with...”Read full review »

“This is my all-time favourite gateway to short fiction. Also, Deborah has a yoga-teacher voice I could listen to all day. I want her to read some stories, too!
P.s. “Waaah ustaad” translates to “amazing, maestro!” in Urdu.”

“Love the author’s commentary on the episodes that have sound. Half of them have no sound. This is the only podcast that does this. I listen to at least 50 weekly so I know it is not on my end. It is a shame bc so many people put much work into each episode that is totally silent.”

“I have used these to fall asleep for years (as well as listen in the day). The irritating new advertisements ruin that possibility. Must EVERYTHING have adverts? So many quiet and reflective podcasts are now being ruined by this. I know there’s no point complaining but am doing it anyway.”

“They had Sherman Alexie on in 2022, just three years after he was outed as a predator. Really strange choice. Alexie used to be one of my favorite writers. Otherwise I wouldn’t even bother leaving a review about it, but he earned this. Hope he’s not harming anymore women.”

“I am really disappointed that Sherman Alexie gave the reading in the April 2022 episode. He doesn’t deserve this platform (see articles from 2018 exposing his long history of using his fame to corner, intimidate and coerce women into s*x). He also has worked to thwart the rise and success of...”Read full review »
