I really enjoyed this podcast, which featured expert readings of terrific short fiction. Highly recommended.
Olá, gostei do podcast. A idéia da música é super legal mas quando a pessoa está falando é super distratava. Deixaria só entre as falas.
Listening to this podcast is like having a famous writer read you a bedtime story. A less dramatic experience than NPR's "Selected Shorts" (whose readers are actors, rather than writers), but pleasant in a quiet way. Literary critic Lisa Allardice's interviews are a worthwhile bonus; she asks smart questions that bring out the best in her guests.
I found this podcast just before leaving on a long trip and it was my companion on the journey for hours. It is wonderful. My favorites (so far) are the stories read by R Rendell and A S Byatt. Their post-story commentary was also fascinating. I had trouble with Colm Toibin's accent but what can be done about that. Thank you for this fabulous thing. And I love the opening music, by the way.
Nice podcast but the production values leave something to be desired. In particular, the cloying, overbearing music that introduces each story nearly ruins it for me. It would be so much better without it: we're here for the stories. It reminds me of how The Moth podcast had that shrill, awful violin intro for a time. They wised up and got rid of it :)
