Nothing else like it !!
I think it’s a pretty darn great idea for a podcast.
Such a great way to read!
Who knew HG Wells could be so entertaining? Blaze Mancillas put together the PERFECT podcast (IMO) with classic literature and banter. I love tuning in every week. Readers and non readers alike will love the conversation and Blaze's amazing vocal style.
Amazing!
So much fun to listen to! Blaze and his guests always make me laugh & bring a smile to my face!
