*this podcast ended 5/7/24* As a child of the 80’s Levar Burton has been a part of my tv watching since I could walk. From Reading Rainbow to Star Trek and more. I was so happy to find that he had made this podcast. It’s reminiscent of Reading rainbow but for adults. Most of the stories are Sci-Fi or fantasy but there are certainly ones about family, trauma and just an ordinary day. It has helped me discover new authors such as NK Jemesin and old ones like Shirley Jackson. Levar’s soothing voice and the immersive remixes makes this a podcast you can listen to in the car or soaking in the tub (yes I’ve done this) with your eyes closed. I can’t recommend this enough!
Amazing!

There just is absolutely nothing better than listening to Levar Burton read stories. The most all-will-be-well-and-all-will-be-well-and-all-manner-of-thing-will-be-well feeling one can hope for in this crazy world, and the pinnacle of technology, as far as I’m concerned.
Butterfly in the sky…

This entire series, especially the last episode and the news of receiving The National Humanités Medal is a stellar gift that will live on forever, thank you. Yes, @itswelwheaton I too am not crying… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
