Customer Reviews
Episode suggestion
Hi, I’m really enjoying your podcast. I find it very intelligently and thoughtfully put together. I wanted to offer a suggestion, an episode on name of the rose (if you’ve read it of course and wish to make an episode). I haven’t read it (it’s been sitting there for years) but I’d find your thoughts and analysis interesting.
Thanks, Renata (Melbourne Aus)
Listener from Australia
When I listen to your podcast or watch your YouTube videos, I truly feel like it’s the closest I’ll ever get to hearing C. S Lewis lecture at Oxford. Your love, and deep appreciation for literature is both inspiring AND infectious. I hope one day to be able to join the reading group! Until then, I’ll be following along with the podcast and YouTube channel.
Nourish you mind…and your soul.
I wish I could remember the day I discovered Ben McEvoy’s content, so that I could mark it in my diary, and celebrate it every year. Hardcore Literature has brought me so much joy, and joining the bookclub, in particular, has been one of the best things I’ve been done for myself. Ben, you’re a treasure and a gem.
