what an amazing guest...
excellent guest and quality. I keep coming back for this one.
This episode is not available any longer. Please help me get it.
Is there an episode for Dune by Frank Herbert, per chance?
Book lovers thank you!
Excellent show!
no mention of Fedallah? Too bad. I needed help with that character and the fate he suffered.
deep
Did you guys removed the old podcasts? I can't find the "Paradise lost" episode. =(
Bashing California "libs" is not a smart way to build an audience. There are 40 million of us and 1 of you. LOL. So many better podcasts on Antigone than this one.
great podcast
just let me know
This is one of the neatest reviews. It is clear, sharp and it does not spoil the book for those who haven't read it yet. As a Bradbury fan, I'm more than satisfied. Do invite this man again, please. Thank you.
I was really disappointed that the host hadn't actually read the books. Discussions would have been so much more interesting if he had been informed.
I thought this was a discussion *about" Don Quixote, but it's basically someone who's read it explaining it to someone who hasn't read it. is this meant to be cliff notes for great books we haven't read?
One of my favorites!
Great podcast. Terrible guest on Confessions.
it was nice
Jessica Hooten has been one of your most delightful guests. I will be buying her book.
I really found out so many things about Benjamin Franklin great job like that it was a factual and fair point of view.
