Good to Great

I really like this podcast, but can you do less stories from the Communist, Jack London. Don’t cut out, just less.

Nice change of pace!

I really like these short stories! I listen to WAY too many current event/political podcasts and when they get to be too much, I listen to these and calm down! The host has a nice voice and does a great job! Thank you!

Good stories; Awful voice

Nice selection of stories. Unfortunately, the host speaks WAY too quickly, and his voice is both grating and inexpressive.
