“Like a sparkling scrumptious chocolate bonbon waiting on my bedside table ~ I devour each podcast from the New Yorker the day (hour!) it arrives. The best podcast full stop…”

“What a wonderful podcast. It’s great to hear from the writers’ in the magazine each week, especially if I miss a story in print.”

“The excessive, repetitive use of profanity and vulgarity doesn’t speak to literary imagination or creative command of the English language.
Do better.”

“This was the worst episode you’ve ever put out. It was not clever in the least. If I want this type of work I can produce it myself or find it elsewhere. Really disappointed in the New Yorker for this one.”

“That’s just mean and uncalled for. I’m very fond of both short story podcasts from The New Yorker. I call them “the pink one” and “the blue one”. I often listen multiple times if it is a story/discussion I really like.”

“Would love a description of the story with a heads up re violence. Is the New Yorker too elite and minimalist for that?”

“I had to put down the knife I was chopping kale with to be with the bus driver until the very end.
Yogurt Stories.
Mesmerizing. The author’s soft tone and easy pace illuminated the story.”

“I’m so happy this podcast exists. Love the whispery MC. But seconding what another review said, it would be cool to have a very loose story description. I wanna add this to my podcast rotation at work and play this for my coworkers but given the lack of information I’m afraid to risk it!”

“Lovely idea to listen to stories. Yet, please describe the story a little bit. Most stories are great, but some are very violent not great at bedtime. Please more female voices or softer male voices. I wait every month and just loved Clair keeghan and bought her books.”

“THE NEW YORKER has no excuse for the poor sound quality of these readings. Podcasts have evolved yet these still can sound like someone on speakerphone. An embarrassment. Spend some money to send authors mics, for the love of god.”

“Besides writing beautiful stories that stay with the reader long after reading or hearing them, Claire-Louise Bennett has the most enjoyable reading voice I have heard.

“If reviewers don’t like a story, if they are hard of hearing or-personally don’t agree with a story they downgrade the writing. They don’t want any element of surprise ( I need a description! I can’t hear! ).This is a FREE podcast where we get to hear new work read in a writers own voice . It is...”Read full review »

“Deborah seems to select stories that revolve around the health problems of Gen Xers and Boomers (I and II). I understand death adds suspense and thats their target market, but every story seems to be quietly laced with someone dying or at the hospital. I just wonder how Treismans successor will...”Read full review »

“I love the Family Markowitz by Allegra Goodman but felt her most recent story was rather dull. As a recently, divorced woman, myself, I did not find the story satisfying, or realistic. I am sure that someone’s experience can be like this, and it did make me feel well-wishing for all of the...”Read full review »

“While there’s an interesting, eclectic mix of stories as told by the authors, some have such poor audio quality that I stopped listening because I couldn’t hear or understand what was being said.”

“Hearing the writers read their own work is so gratifying. Thank you! Such a nice bonus for students of creative writing.
I wish there was a quality podcast for nonfiction writers/memoirists/essayists to read their work as well!”

“What a treat you continue to provide.
The story read by Bryan Washington evoked such a range of emotions as do the majority of the short stories read by writers.
Thanks so much”
