  • Weak analysis

    Not very thorough but a decent jumping off point. They pick good stories to cover but their analysis is weak.

  • How does this woman have a literature podcast?

Poe was a better writer than 90% of modern writers.

  • Great Podcast-but I have one gripe.

    This is a great podcast for any fan of literature. I just finished The Swimmer episode and I have one theme the podcasters missed entirely. The Swimmer is a story about addiction. In this case it’s about the horrors of alcoholism. The main character lost everything because of his drinking. He’s literally swimming in booze.

  • Thoughtful commentary for writers and readers.

    Kristine and John always bring fresh thoughts and thoughtful commentary to their analysis of short stories. It’s a useful and enjoyable listen for writers and readers alike.
