The perfect voice for storytelling
John has a perfect voice for reading these stories. It is a delight to hear him read O Henry or Lovecraft. I do wish he would make his background music a little less intrusive. But still this a top-notch podcast. Highly recommended!

10 Stars at Least
This is for all the podcasts I've thoroughly enjoyed and then some. Why can't these types of stories be in the majority and all others in the minority? Mr Hagadorn, I enjoy hearing you telling these great stories. I plan to make a contribution very soon. Thank you and may this go on forever.

Brilliant! (First Review After Many Podcasts Listened To)
I’ve only begun to scratch the surface of the wonderful collection of stories assembled in this podcast, but I am unquestionably hooked. Very well-curated and read with splendid pace, inflection, and emphasis. Jon makes the stories come alive and feels like a dear friend sharing them with you. I love recommending particular favorites to friends and family.

Thank you!
Just finished enjoying the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I had forgotten how vivid the descriptions of the characters are- right down to Gunpowder the horse. Thank you!

Fabulous choices!
These many podcasts by Jon Hagadorn are all wonderful and read so well! I love all the different genres he delves into. He finds stories I've never heard of by famous writers and great stories by writers I am not familiar with. You Can't get better than Jon Hagadorns multiple podcasts! He must work around the clock to keep us all in fabulous entertainment. Thank You!!

Great storytelling!
I have been enjoying several of the 1001 podcasts for the last few years. This is my current favorite. I have enjoyed a few of the stories so much that I purchased the books for our family. Thank you John Hagadorn for sharing your gift of storytelling. I feel like I have a kind and interesting grandpa reading to me. It’s relaxing and entertaining.
