Idk if it’s the best podcast ever…

But I enjoy it so much and am loving almost every single live read. It must transform the material so much to have talented creative artists lend their skills to the project. It’s great and I cannot recommend it enough and would very much enjoy attending a live performance. Thanks for this!

Fantastic

Diverting. Entertaining. Takes your brain on a little ride. Sometimes laugh out loud; sometimes thoughtful. Just great. Update long time later, and I’m still looking forward to episodes of this show. It’s my go-to for long walks and drives

Where else?

I don’t think any other podcast is doing what this one is - giving you access to IP you can’t hear anywhere else read by wonderful performers. Such a gem of a podcast!
