My favourite podcast. Often strange and wonderful. Always well made, insightful, moving, word and sound scapes. Another series soon please!

In every way.

I was so excited about season 1&2. Looooved it. The editing was just exquisite, the pieces poignant and meaningful. I really enjoyed the mix between old and new texts and interviews, I cherished the peak into the archives, the worlds conjured through meaningful but unobtrusive soundscapes....Read full review »

Jus listened to my first episode. The poems, interview & short story were all so wonderful. A must for any writer or person who simply loves lit!

Sounds, words, magic. More episodes, pretty please! The world’s gone mad and we need this more than ever.

From story selection to sound design this is the best literary podcast that exists. Please make more episodes!

One of the most intriguing and elegant podcasts I’ve ever enjoyed.

I love this podcast! Love, love, love it. Music, acting, writing - it’s a triple threat. You can even dance to it. Feel like it elevates my mind and alleviates cultural deprivation every time I listen.

So good! I feel like I’m hanging out with the coolest artists when I listen. A collage of poetry, spoken word stories and weirdness…

Just the very thing I needed - top quality audio delicacies. So grateful. New favourite podcast!

I love this podcast. It takes me on a journey and drops me back later. Great way to pass the time in rush hour traffic.
KahBill via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/21
Beautiful sound stories selections. Diverse unexpected. The very best of the East Coast literary scene through the years sprinkled throughout with European flair. Most akin to a beautifully produced BBC podcast. A must hear even on repeat for the over educated and under paid aesthetes of this world.

A superb podcast of a superb literary magazine. Joy to listen!

The sound production, the literary selections, and the choice and performance of readers is absolutely excellent. I had never thought of subscribing to the Paris Review before I listened to this podcast, but now I have to.
Florafloraflora via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/21
Excellently produced stories, a fantastic archive to pull content from. Got me to subscribe to The Paris Review magazine—on real paper and ink! Waiting patiently for that third season. Would love to see Borges featured 🤞

... From the first episode of season 1 this podcast completely captured me, the blending of fiction, poetry, writers’ interviews, and the occasional essay, mixed with some of the best sound design and music of any podcast makes every episode a special treat. I’ve listened to many of them more...Read full review »

This is just such a joy to listen to- nothing compares
sophieandomnia via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 05/07/20
Super well done. Better than an audio book due to the presentation effort/sound affects/music. So enjoyable. Thanks.

One of the most satisfying and interesting podcast I have heard. Sadly I have listened to them all twice. When do we get new episodes?
AprilSanF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/20
The use of old interviews, stories, poetry & music weaved together is a joy to hear. It captures my mind like no other podcast. Well done.

The production value and sound design is really immersive. Being a fan of ephemera, I really enjoy hearing old stories and interviews from the Paris Review archives brought to the digital age.
sparkle542 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/19
Bill Callahan reading Charles Wright at the outset of episode 16 is mesmerizing.
gary erwin via Apple Podcasts · Chile · 11/22/19
Deep, funny, transporting. Extraordinary production value and readings.
cantfindanickname1477 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/21/19
What a precious gift. Each podcast is so beautifully crafted, so moving, so thought provoking. Thank you to everyone contributing to this excellent experience!

The best podcast ever
Gailepr via Apple Podcasts · Lithuania · 11/18/19
....and sexual assault as a garnish. Really confused how Ep. 16, which was basically a cheesy rap video in written form, made the editorial cut. Why is misogyny and sexual assault ok if it comes from a black man? Is this what we are to expect the rest of the season? If so, I’ll unsubscribe now.

Look forward to each new podcast. Thankful The Paris Review is back for a second season! Keep em coming!
Sonrise808 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/19
Listen to Episode 15 immediately. It contains a beauty and depth sorely lacking in our world.
ninabruja via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/19
Really enjoyed season one. If you want a podcast that is polished and has a literary podcast format then this one is for you. In season two that the podcast just keeps getting better.
superhero1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/19
Such a moving thoughtful entertaining beautifully assembled series. Each episode a work of art in itself. Whoever does the audio mix (credited? I never catch it) is sooooooo good. Thank you.

This is an actual gift. Thank you.
jillian mayer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/19
love the content but the music and artful mixing are a distraction.
paula2018 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/19
Worth the wait. Both my ears loved it.
Laughing Ape via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/23/19
I loved season 1—but season 2 is already sounding even better, if that's possible. Starting off with Toni Morrison? That's how you come out swinging. Beautifully produced and immersive. Definitely worth a listen.Read full review »

By far one of the best!

Love it!
Skdjfnrksjnf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/01/19
Very glad season 2 of this podcast is on its way. Season 1 started a little weak. If you start with episode 1, you’ll be disappointed. Start with S1 episode 12 and work back. No story arch, so nothing lost by working back in this way. I can’t remember exactly when but at some point this podcast...Read full review »

Will this ghastly immersion return?
MurasakiFloof via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/19
Of course the Paris Review puts together a great podcast. They have a nice variety of authors in each episode and make better use of music than many literary pods. 10/10 would recommend
Daveiii via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/19
PLEASE. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. HOW MUCH LONGER? urgency urgency! it’s wonderful.
darina0807 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/19
I like the style and the setup to this pod. Rare gifts of long forgotten audio interactions and interviews with some of my favorite authors. Hoping there will be a S2 as I’ve had this locked in my favorites for some time.
Dresden8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/19
What happened to this podcast? I binge listened to it only to realize they haven’t produced anything in a year. I truly hope there is a future for this podcast! I love it so much.
