This podcast delivers exactly what its title promises—new fiction from The New Yorker, brought to life by the authors themselves. There’s something uniquely intimate about hearing a writer read their own work; the nuances of tone and rhythm reveal layers of meaning that might otherwise go unnoticed. I find myself eagerly anticipating each new episode, and I listen to the stories as soon as they’re posted. The variety of stories is another standout feature. From poignant character studies to gripping narratives, each episode offers a fresh perspective. The production is top-notch, and the balance between the writer’s voice and the atmospheric sound quality creates a seamless listening experience. Whether you’re a lifelong lover of literature or someone who’s looking for an engaging way to explore contemporary fiction, this podcast is a treasure trove. It’s my go-to for moments of inspiration and reflection, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

This podcast is the best. I can’t read in a sustained way anymore, but for some reason I can still bear to listen. Something about the texture of the voice, the writer’s voice, bringing me the story. Thank you. Keep making these please.

Subscribing to the New Yorker can be frustrating! So many good stories and reports to read and so little time. The ability to listen to these short stories while doing chores is a marvelous treat. It helps whittle down the ever growing pile of partially read magazines.
