  • Maybe not 4 sleep

    Obviously amazing stories, often read by Stefan Rudnicki (this podcast led me to his book narrations) but: I do not recommend using this to fall asleep to, as: the alarming volume of intermittent ads will launch you out of bed.

  • Blood orange

    Do you have any idea how awful it is to promote an award titled “black narrators you “should” listen to”.

    Sad sad…how low we have fallen in a world where the narrators talents are less important than the amount of pigment In their skin.

  • Good podcast; Justine Eyre REALLY STINKS

    What are you folks -thinking having Justine Eyre read? Her voice is simply, and utterly excruciating. It is not really a matter of personal taste, yinz. It’s like listening to a fork being jammed into an in-sink-erator. Please: just have a little mercy. Good content though, so 4 stars!
