"The Kit-Bag," by Algernon Blackwood
This week is a bit of a departure - technical issues are causing a delay in the regular schedule, but we've got a fresh story here that's been a Patreon exclusive until now! This one is a suitably creepy Christmas ghost story by a master of the genre. Enjoy "The Kit-Bag"!
Customer Reviews
Just Right.
The podcaster reads in a compelling and soothing deep tone, with delightful character voices, a very brief introduction of the author and perhaps a slice of some other relevant background, then gets right to it. Fantastic selections that include both well and lesser known works, good length, well paced, clean audio, no jolting interruptions or anything, and a lovely , perfectly placed sprinkling of radio play audio flourishes; thus, just right. Exactly what anyone might desire from a classic short story podcast.
Wonderful voice
The host makes the stories come alive.Great selection
Love!
Love this show! This is great to listen to while I’m filing and shelving at work!
