I have resisted podcasts because I thought they would take up too much time. Read650 is the perfect size, the perfect sound, and full of good stories well told. I feel like Goldilocks: this one is just right.

Read 650 is the best podcast I listen to. Takes no time to get out of your head and into the minds of great storytellers - one topic at a time.

These are terrific pieces, read aloud by the writers. I enjoy the mini collections of three or four pieces on a central theme. The work is fabulous, and the voice of the writers bring the essays to life. Rock on 650! Highly recommended!
