Shameless Self Promotion

The Onion's A.V. Club says:
If you’ve ever thought of listening to audiobooks but don’t want to pay for them or can’t decide what to listen to, this podcast is for you.

Read it all here.

John Whitbourne, author of The Binscombe Tales says:

A friend has belatedly alerted me to your reading of my ‘The Binscombe Tales – Another Place’ last year.

Having listened twice now I accordingly wanted to contact you and, firstly, say thank you for your kind words re my series. And secondly, to congratulate on both your wonderful reading voice and your particular reading of my humble tale, which, if I may say so, showed remarkable… understanding.

I’ll confess I’ve rarely revisited that particular (first in the long sequence) story, although for no clear reason, and haven’t ever thought of it as any particular favourite. However, after now hearing your version I’ll concede it might have some small merit…

I've Read That says:
If you didn't know better, you'd think you were listening to a professionally produced audiobook. (Actually, I prefer her reading style to that of many of the professional audiobook narrators I've come across.)

A Podcast ...

... featuring great authors and stories that should be better known. A little about the authors and their writing, with samples. Yes, forgotten classic literature in audiobook format.

What the heck is a Podcast?

Think of a podcast as a radio show. Each show consists of a series of individual episodes that you can listen in a variety of ways — on your computer, with an iPod, or with just a web browser.

This podcast is free, with certain qualifications noted
(scroll down to the bottom of the sidebar to see them).
