- It’s All Your Fault, Levar!
The reason I got hooked on reading was because of Reading Rainbow. Later, I got hooked on Start Trek and all sci-fi things because the guy from Reading Rainbow was on a sci-fi TV show. Thank you for your amazing energy and continued efforts to make life better for all earthlings. You are GOLD, in my books!

I have adored this podcast and have listened to it since its debut. The stories are thoughtfully curated and expose listeners to a swath of talented writers and tales, often with a nod to what is happening in the real world. LeVar Burton’s iconic timbre and vocal performance make this podcast a rare and unmissable gem. Bring it back!

United States5 months ago - What do we have to do to get you back?!
I have really horrible tinnitus, so I throw in the earbuds every night and fall asleep to a story. From the stories themselves to the calming sound of LeVar’s voice, this has become my favorite thing to fall asleep to. I’m thankful there are so many episodes, I’ve heard each one at least 3x but they are still just a peaceful to listen to as the first time.
I’m not sure what it would take to get this podcast renewed, but I’d be super stoked if it did.
