  • Sometimes funny, sometimes insightful....ALWAYS ENTERTAINING

    I'm not a fan of many podcasts. If I want to listen to people talk, I generally gravitate toward specific radio stations. But Not About Lumberjacks isn't just someone talking.

  • Fun Listen

    I’m slowly binging “Not About Lumberjacks” on my daily commute and am thoroughly enjoying it. The quirky stories and equally quirky narrator make the entire package a treat. The supplemental “Behind the Cut” is also fun to watch the author grow as a writer and to learn the background of each story. (I suspect these episodes are therapeutic for him, too.) I highly recommend this series so far.

  • Great Show!!

    This is an excellent collection of short stories, narrated by Christopher or one of a number of talented people. It’s definitely worth listening to!

    The only downside to the show... there aren’t any stories about Lumberjacks...
