Reviews
- Brilliant and Tender-Wonderful Podcast
I always get a great deal from Jackes’s analysis but the depth of Kierkegaard program on “Fear and Trembling” really took my breathe away!

Canadaa month ago - Insightful reviews - Amusing delivery
I have been delighted by Jacke Wilson's thoughtful podcast of famous literature. His reviews are insightful and well composed. Most delightful is his amusing delivery style. Wilson gives the chosen topic a brief review (one hour episodes usually) including the biography of the author and the historic context of the work. He selects a theme in the literature to expound on shares his personal response to the work. I think History of Literature is a very positive and inspiring podcast.

United Statesa month ago - The Ads Are Horrible.
Update: the increase in ads has made this sweet show unlistenable. Approx 30 min per episode is the worst out there. It’s sad. Taking a literary show to the bowels of capitalism.
Apple Podcasts2joandietitianUnited Statesa month ago - Tonic for the Soul
I began listening in 2020, enraptured by Jacke’s Midwestern introduction to Jean Toomer. There’s just too much goodness to describe in the episodes on Joyce, Thoreau, Kafka, Dickens, Rilke, Alice Munro… Just get cozy, pick a favorite author, and listen.

I can’t believe this exists or that there are people out there listening to it. It’s amazing and I don’t even like podcasts. I pay for it now even though I’m cheap and it’s free.
