  • Great selection of classics with No Ads!

    I really appreciate finding classic audiobooks with no ads, especially those tied to movies. Every company seems intent on making money somehow, someway, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find audiobooks without having to pay some subscription fee, whether Audible or Spotify.

    This has been a welcome relief, and, while the podcast itself is new and selection is a little limited, they are adding books all the time.

    Don’t see one yet? Just ask!!!

  • Fascinating, Fertile, and Fresh

    In this day of meandering scripts and frenetically hasty editing, this podcast serves to restore the breaches of the great literary narratives often diminished (but not always) by their cinematic versions.

  • Wonderful resource and idea for a podcast!

    Great to come across this podcast with so many classic books to listen to. Some movies are good at helping books come to life but there is nothing like the book itself! Look forward to more books and episodes!
