A must for radiophiles all over the world. The only thing that could make it even better is more Sam McAughtry from the archives.

I live in NYC and listened to this episode as I was walking along the path by the Hudson River yesterday. I was so moved that I had to sit on a bench and listen. Each segment was spectacular but I loved the donkey one most of all. Thank you so much for making my walk so special.
Appreciation from across the pond.

Just a fantastic program. From HF/VHF to podcasts, RTÉ and Sunday Miscellany has been a companion to me for more years than I care to count. What a wonderfully entertaining program. How lucky am I to be able to listen from so far away, and for a short time I am transported to another world through the beautifully crafted words and stories. Always something new and captivating.

I believe it is Barbara Scully. She has a stuffy nose and listening to her reading is unbearable. Why would you air this? I can’t breathe just listening to it.
