“I had no intention of writing a review, but after reading the recent ones, it seemed necessary. The complaints and the overall rating of this podcast don’t do it justice. The kind of analysis and the brilliant choices of stories are immensely entertaining and the material has a certain freedom to it, since it’s decided by writers that have a passion for a specific author/piece. That grants us free entrance to their excitement!!
For people complaining that these authors are not professional podcasters, it seems silly and like the point is being missed. They aren’t meant to be perfect. This podcast is more similar to sitting next to a passionate writer on a settee, while they share a story they care about (immensely).
Deborah does a magnificent job of leading constructive analysis. It doesn’t fit an agenda, and it also isn’t meant to hold the listener’s hand. The New Yorker attracts a certain type of crowd, and I would wager that the majority of us aren’t bigots or individuals that would glorify sexual violence (responding directly to those complaints about failing to address sexual violence or the racial context of these stories). We see the analysis of the other topics against the backdrop of those more difficult themes, and I’m actually quite satisfied that the discussion doesn’t have to descend into a lecture. I appreciate that we’re expected to understand those issues. And when they’re less obvious, the discussion usually highlights them.
Give this podcast a chance. It will broaden your horizons, expand your tastes, and teach you to think even more critically than before!”

In specific, the last one is absolutely amazing. Passion, humor, affection, grief -- I was as drawn to the reader...”Read full review »

“When I see this podcast loading, I get a thrill. Like an unopened gift, I wonder what story has been chosen this month and who will read it. I especially enjoy hearing how the authors made their selection to read and what emotions they felt upon their first reading of the story. Since subscribing...”Read full review »
