Best storyteller

The stories, to me, are the added bonus to listening to you talk about any- and everything. I love the detectives and the “literature” stories the most but I always listen to the ghosties too.

Entertaining

Just discovered this podcast and I am loving the breadth and diversity of the stories Tony narrates. I am looking forward to hearing unfamiliar authors and gripping stories. I enjoy the little chats at the end!

I stumbled on this gem of a podcast about a month ago and have devoured it. Tony is terrific as narrator and host, my only regret is that I am all caught up and will now have to wait each week for the next installment. Now that you are moving to more modern stories I would love to see you incorporate some P.D. James. Her novels are obviously excellent, but she also published a number of excellent short stories that would be ideal for this podcast. “The Yo-Yo” is a personal favorite. Thank you and keep up the great work!!
