  • Could be worse, I guess

    I burn through a lot of podcasts walking the dog. This is in the

    “Tolerable” category that I listen to after I’ve listened to the good podcasts. Seems to be written at a 6th grade level, so maybe I expect too much.

  • Eli Marks books and podcast

    First found the Eli Marks books on Audible when I was looking for something different to listen to. Have now listened to them all and enjoyed them all, well scripted with excellent characterisation and of course read by the talented Jim Cunningham ✨.

    Now listening to the podcast I am finding the interview section to be fascinating and full of great information. Well worth a listen and with bonus of a free reading on chapters from an Eli Marks mystery.

    Can’t recommend the books and podcast enoug... more

  • It’s hard to wait for each new episode

    I first heard about this on another podcast and bought one of the audio books. Loved it and bought the entire series. I listened to all of them over a few weeks and wished there were more. Then, I subscribed to the podcast. You’d think that I’d had enough, but the magician interviews before each chapter/episode are fantastic, plus it’s great to hear the books again. This is a win/win. I suggest doing the same as I did and buy the audio books and enjoy the podcast!

  • Love, Love, Love

    I can’t express how much I enjoy the Eli Marks Books and now I have the whipping cream and cherry of The Eli Marks Podcasts. I’m a nearly 80 year old who grew up in Chicago. As a would be magician, I can relate to so much of the magic history. In addition, my son lives in White Bear and my grandson in Edina. Therefore, I relate to so much of the Eli Marks Books.

    If you like magic get this Podcast, you will have many hours of pleasure.
