Customer Reviews
Cassandra is amazing! A new holiday classic!
I have been listening to and enjoying Jim Harold’s podcasts for years. I am completely blown away by Cassandra’s narration of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Her performance is an instant holiday classic, and a brand new tradition for my family!! Thank you!! Happy Holidays!
Stories are good
The narration is horrible. I’d prefer a transatlantic voice over this weird slowed down talk to text style narrator
Great podcast
Cassandra does an amazing job narrating these stories. I would highly recommend to anybody who loves listening to a wonderfully told story to give this show a listen.
