The Paris Review

This one is

I was so excited about season 1&2. Looooved it. The editing was just exquisite, the pieces poignant and meaningful. I really enjoyed the mix between old and new texts and interviews, I cherished the peak into the archives, the worlds conjured through meaningful but unobtrusive soundscapes. But I have to say that the newer editing doesn’t work for me, already on season 3. I liked some of the episodes of the current season - but for me, sadly, it’s lost its magic :(

I grew accustomed to this podcast in the way one’s accustomed to a loved one or one’s favorite sandwich: I thought it was a reliable part of everyday life, grounding me, while still, at times, striking a tingling chord in me like a soft laughter, great pickles or, in this case, refreshing, crisp and invariably interesting culture and lit content. Please continue. It’s the golden age of podcasting. Or maybe that was 2014. Continue anyways, please.
