Best of the best
I can’t believe this book isn’t widely published and distributed. Definitely listen to this.
I tried
I really tried to get through this fiction podcast, but the writing is just too bad. The ways that it’s bad are too many to list. Two stars instead of one because it was an early serialized fiction podcast. But it desperately needs editing, and sensitivity readers.
The Best
