Freakish Drag queens and tree huggers, and I had forgotten why I stopped listening. :(
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.
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.
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!
What can I say, we are set upon by darkness. Down with the mad king.
