- Fantastic Story Telling and Eloquently Read

United States13 days ago - Over produced, not a podcast
This isn’t a podcast. This is an audio of something written like a book. And over produced with music and sound effects. No pause for reflection. No conversation. It just isn’t a podcast. I’d rather read this than listen.

I love Dan and have been waiting for a podcast from him for years. If you haven’t read any of his books you are in for a treat! Thanks for doing this Dan!
Apple Podcasts5SteambotUnited Statesa month ago - Skip the Intro
Dan I’m a big fan but you can’t read that intro stuff to us. It comes off lame. Once you get to the story your reading is better and more interesting. But telling the story while referring to notes would make way better listening. You’re a good speaker. You don’t need to read.
