    Trailer for The Classic Tales Podcast

    Winner of 2 SOVAS (Voice Arts) Awards 2022, 2 w3 awards 2021, 2022, The Hear Now Platinum Award 2023, and The Independent Audiobook Award (2021). Shortlisted in TIME (2022), The Wall Street Journal (2007), and iTunes (Best Podcasts of 2007). Audiobooks are kind of the best things ever. You’ve got a professional actor doing character voices and accents that make if feel like a full cast radio drama. And with an audiobook podcast, they curate the titles to take the guesswork out of your reading list. It’s like you’re on a bike ride, and you can go to the places you’ve never been before and enjoy the ride effortlessly! But sometimes, the show can fall flat, the pacing is off, the character voices bug, or the content is hit and miss. The journey becomes a slog, and now it’s like you’re riding your bike up a hill with a flat tire. Ugh. But with The Classic Tales Podcast, you get award-winning classic audiobooks that never fall flat. You can explore Dracula’s castle, haunt Ebeneezer Scrooge, sail with Long John Silver, or solve a mystery with Sherlock Holmes. And these adventures never fall flat. So avoid the slog, and subscribe to The Classic Tales Podcast. classictalesaudiobooks.com
