  • The best voice!

    BJ H is my favorite podcast. I have listened to almost all his episodes (I'm not a fan of the Wodehouse ones because i love the British tv episodes of them). BJ. 's selection of stories are fabulous. His delivery is perfection. I check every day hoping for a new one and hang on his pirate episodes. Brilliant, wonderful podcast! Top tier! Abigail in Vermont

    I just cancelled my subscription .. B J has sold out. Now a commercial every 15 minutes or so. It breaks up the story too much. Great narration but no.

  • Obnoxious Commercials and Ads

    Great narration of storylines that are free for use in the public domain, excellent for going to sleep by. But not worth $8 a month, and now rendered un-listenable (or sleep approachable) by a plethora of loud, obnoxious advertising. Don't bother.
