United States14 days ago - I absolutely love this podcast!
I am a photographer whose busiest season is September/October, right during spooky season. I love all things spooky, but am so busy this time of year I don’t really get to do any fun Halloween related activities, so being able to put on this podcast and listen to well written and well performed stories is a gift while I’m editing mountains of photos.

Tony has a lovely voice and he's a great reader. Not too fussy or overacted.
But PLEASE, don't do the American accent. You're terrible at it.
Apple Podcasts5GatsbyNYCUnited Statesa month ago - Soothing and well-read
Sometimes I listen because I want the story, other times I’ve just needed the quiet, gentle voice and steady pace. That means I may have missed critical plot details or even entire stories because I’ve been lulled to sleep or absorbed in creative projects but I’ve always enjoyed listening.
I’ve also discovered new authors and works which is an added pleasure. Thank you.
