Great reading; much better than most podcasts of this type.
this narrator's delivery was fantastic. Very lively and entertaining
This is an incredible podcast! When it comes to podcasts, I only like the most amazing and top notch storytelling or audio drama stories... this has the best of both. I sincerely hope that you guys are not finished creating!! More, please! 😁

I absolutely love these stories & this podcast. I just wish they would make more of them as I'm getting withdrawal symptons!
Fantastic!
this one gave me serious chills!
I know these podcasts are no longer being made and I am so very sad about that because these are fantastic! Thank you to everyone who was involved in making these, you did an incredible job.
she has a great story telling voice. awesome
This is my favorite broadcast, please make more!
that made me cry. 💔 even if I wasn't native, I still would cried. My poor people have been through so much to be here today. so horrid.
is this show still being produced??
This is such a good podcast! Cool stories, great storytellers, great production.
I absolutely love this story and this story teller! I listen to these in the car alot with my son he enjoys them as much as I do. This narrator is very enjoyable and funny I will have to look her up😊
Awesome writing and reading!
What a wonderful reader ❤️ she was great with her southern accent I loved it!
I love this episode, and would absolutely love to hear more from Veronica Byrd and Bert Tanner. Great voices
I like this podcast, but didn't like this episode. I dislike any narrative that tries to make it appear as anyone owning people has a kind heart. But.. Other than that, it was a sweet, sad story.
This is one of the highest quality podcasts in the literature genre available. The stories are great and the audio is superb!
This is so well done, I wish it came out every week! I so enjoyed the story, the reading and the music/effects. Perfect for this time of year but welcome any time.
