Hello everyone . would me say , how can I get the stories with beginner English level ? Thank you so much . 💓
You are doing a great job can't believe it took me sooo long to discover your Podcast... Always used to search for the author on Google after reading a good story but you provide more information than just reading the stories... I think that's really awesome of you to give credits to these legends who were present among us and always will till the end of days... Much love to you 🖤
The Most Dangerous Game was such a great story and I also found out George R. R. Martin copied this story for one of his characters Ramsay Bolton in the book Series of Game of Thrones.... Never would have guessed it that a writer like himself copied something and got more popular than the original Richard Connell. Love Richards version alot... Thank you Sir Jon for this wonderful experience helping my Insomnia and relaxation for my tired mind
💚WATCH>>ᗪOᗯᑎᒪOᗩᗪ>>LINK>👉https://co.fastmovies.org
you murdered a perfectly decent story with a very annoying hound! whoever made that choice should be fired.
Hello there, how can I find the text for this podcast?
he is so fast
Hello
the accent is american or british?
is the reader a robot?
I really enjoy this podcast but sometimes the narrator is difficult to understand because he doesn't enunciate very well, so some of the words are muffled.
how get text
the best stories I have found in any podcast Poirot. Ms Marple or Holmes.
Thank you for the extra Wednesday episode!!! 🙏🏻❤️
This is not the full short story. Really awful what you did here.
The Jack London channel. Enough already!🤢🤮
this podcast has so much potential, but the narration o. the first two stories is terrible and painful to listen to. just a monotone drone. I can't continue.
One of my very favourite podcasts. Love Jon's voice and his enthusiasm in telling the tales. Wonderful story choices too. Thank you. Makes driving alone pleasurable.
no way, I'd better read books then listen to this voice.
Interesting stories
