- My Favorite Podcast
Ever since just before the fire vaporized our house in 2008, I have listened to this podcasts. It has propelled me to learn about authors I might otherwise have ignored.

These episodes are a life changing journey into the world of literature, I’ve always despaired that I will leave this earth missing the pleasures of reading the stories of wonderful writers, I now look forward to the long solo car trips from Bathurst ( NSW) where I live to Sydney to visit family on a weekly basis.

Australia2 months ago - Awful interpretation of Carver
The discussion about Raymond Carver's story was soo far off base. Absolutely unhinged read on that story. This is not a positive story, no character is going to be okay. Its a complete mis-read on the story. Terrible. The narrator is taking our credit to keep up with the payments to his family who isn't paying him back. It absolutely cannot continue at that trajectory. It is a story of despair? Of what happens when you overextend. Ugh. Anyway..
