  • This is the one you need…

    Ahhhhh, Jake’s delivery is smoother than the freshly whipped cream up top a generous slice of sweet potato pie. Each episode is sweeter than a tall frosty glass of succulent southern iced tea.

    Subscribe today and let his melodious bumpkin tones fill the classical literature void you know exists in your overly technology saturated soul.

    Come drink deep, my friend. This is what you’ve been longing for.

    Jake - I wish you had been my teacher in high school! Your readings are mesmerizing. I love Edgar Allan Poe, he’s so twisted, as evidenced in this particular reading.
