Nice podcast but the production values leave something to be desired. In particular, the cloying, overbearing music that introduces each story nearly ruins it for me. It would be so much better without it: we're here for the stories. It reminds me of how The Moth podcast had that shrill, awful violin intro for a time. They wised up and got rid of it :)

I found this podcast just before leaving on a long trip and it was my companion on the journey for hours. It is wonderful. My favorites (so far) are the stories read by R Rendell and A S Byatt. Their post-story commentary was also fascinating. I had trouble with Colm Toibin's accent but what can be done about that. Thank you for this fabulous thing. And I love the opening music, by the way.

Heartbreaking. The pain of class divisions as experienced through the lives of children. Masterfully read and written.
