I can’t say enough about this podcast. I love poetry. Jake introduces me to poetry I’ve never heard of or might have come across. It’s a refuge. Thanks Jake!
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.
The readings are clear. I can understand each word without the dialects and accents being compromised. It’s a curious entertainment to hear stories anew with the Cultured Bumpkin adding his flair.
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.
I follow Jake on a few social platforms, always loving his posts and now I’m super excited to find this amazing podcast! Jake your voice is the absolute best and I can’t wait to do a deep dive on all of the episodes you have released, keep up the fabulous work / Jessie ☺️ 🙏
