Customer Reviews
Great find!
I found this podcast while looking for something to help me prepare for seeing a production of Macbeth, and I couldn’t be more pleased. It profoundly deepened my appreciation of the play and has excited me to explore Shakespeare and other great literature more deeply. Mr. McEvoy’s delivery is engaging, relatable, exciting, and worthy of any time one can devote to it…thank you for making this available to the world!
Incredibly informative and detailed
I have two degrees in literature and I have learned more from Ben than all my years at uni. This is the podcast for serious students of literature. Ben analyzes books down to the atom! Best podcast out there! Also check out his YouTube channel and Patreon group! Thanks for all the hard work, Ben!
This is the Best
The spiritual descendant of Harold Bloom, Ben’s is the only serious literary podcast I have found. Some others are just OK but none compare to this one.
