Sweet Synopsis

Took some time to enjoy the brief encounter I experienced as I attentively listened to every word that Tony Lo provided with each reading. I was taken to a concise portrayal of the authors history, almost to good to be true. I enjoy the classics very much and would like to hear more of what’s to come next. Feel fortunate to have discovered this podcast in the here and now.

Intriguing and thought-provoking classic excerpts

I like the brevity of this podcast and ability to give useful facts in a short amount of time along with offering a classic literature reading that is both stimulating and provoking. Tony has a pleasant voice and is enthusiastic about reading. We need more thoughtful readers in this world and this is a good intro to encourage exploring literature. Great selections so far and looking forward to more.
