Customer Reviews
Short stories, but very sweet. Thanks
A fantastic find. Loving the stories and the commentary. The length and breadth of the original stories is almost paralleled by the writers commenting and reading them. A gift, thanks 🙏🏼
New Paths
Value this more for the Ariadne threads than the aural pleasure (few writers are also performers, alas).
Really great podcast
Lovely to hear Colm Tobin’s insights and his reading the wonderful Mary Lavin, he reads with such gentleness it becomes an almost relaxing meditation. I loved it ! It is interesting to hear the story read aloud as I’ve only ever read her stories to myself. totally different and still equally captivating.
