Chapter 80 and the rest of chapter 79 from the Count of Monte Cristo did not get posted correctly. It appears chapter 79 got cut off near its end. I love the show. Thanks for all you do!
Jon Hagedorn has a warm and engaging voice. He chooses amazing stories and interprets them with insight. You can tell he pours his heart into his work. Start with a story you know and learn something new that he has carefully researched. Start with a story new to you, and Jon will make the story into a favorite. I love this show!
Back surgery, a lost voice and bad reviews. He kept going! Thank you Jon, for keeping this podcast network alive, loved Jekyll and Hyde! Keep up the good work!đź’š
I have never been a big reader, but listening to these classic stories stories for the road, short stories, Sherlock Holmes stories, histories, and mysteries or any of the other 1001 podcasts has allowed me to enjoy so much literature that I would not be exposed to otherwise. I anxiously await the release of several of these each week!
Thank you, Jon for producing these! Exited for the next chapter of the Count of Monte Cristo…
Apparently you have had some complaints about this book’s length. For me, it is fine. I am a huge Dumas fan and would love it if you did the entire 3 Musketeers series, all 8-10 books.
Remember, the Count of Monte Christo is a semi-biographical account of Dumas’ father’s life. See “The Black Count” by Tom Reiss.
