  • Plagued by repeats!

    I like these old stories with a wide variety of authors, narrators and topics. My main complaint is that, starting perhaps a few months ago, about ¾ or more of the stories in my feed are repeats that I’ve already heard on this same podcast. Yes, I mark them as “played” but somehow they get reclassified as “unplayed” and come back to me—some of them, 4x and counting. Same thing for the companion short story podcasts. Hope someone fixes this glitch.

  • Ugh. Terrible readers. AI jerky voices. Stop, stop, Stop.

    Stop. Please find better readers, better sound.

  • "New" is doing some heavy lifting here. Every day the podcast releases readings of a small list of short stories which it has released over and over. As it mentions, this feed exists to take publicly available and free librivox podcasts and to insert obnoxious commercials at inappropriate times at blaring volumes. This is just somebody's crass attempt at "passive income" by setting up a script and never checking it. Only deserves 2 stars because of the librivox story quality. Otherwise 0.
