Listener Reviews

Thank you for sharing these lovely old stories. I enjoy listening to them while I sew or craft. My children like to join me sometimes and I pick a story we can all enjoy. Thank you for your work at keeping these classics alive.

Jon Hagadorn has a splendid reading voice and taste in literature. I could not recommend it enough, and the spin off 1001 stories podcasts are all terrific!

Jon - another great read from one of my favorite authors. I’ve never heard this story before and it was quite a treat! Thank you for consistently finding these great family friendly stories and putting your special touch to it!

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!

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.

Jon does a great job of picking and narrating stories. If you are looking for outstanding classics that are well performed, this is the podcast for you. Bonus, these stories are suitable for the entire family.

I enjoy the varied and entertaining selection of stories. I listen to it on my own and with our kids. Jon’s delivery is energetic and shows an understanding of the nuances of the story

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.

Always feel enriched by any of the stories you share with us. We need these tales to feed our imaginations. Can’t thank you enough Jon.

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!

All the 1001 podcasts are well done and just delightful. Thank you John.

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!!
