Jon - another great read from one of my favorite authors. I’ve never heard this story before and it was quite a treat! Thank you for consistently finding these great family friendly stories and putting your special touch to it!
John has a perfect voice for reading these stories. It is a delight to hear him read O Henry or Lovecraft. I do wish he would make his background music a little less intrusive. But still this a top-notch podcast. Highly recommended!
