Awesome episode. Thank you!!

A tour de force. Almost unbelievable, and unbelievably interesting and entertaining.

Another MOST excellent and delightful podcast! Not even two minutes after listening, I was rummaging through my bookcase for the 1967 copy of John Keats, Selected Poetry and Letters! Ahhh! found it. And, there is “Psyche” on pg. 238. Thank you Jack. Do you realize how much joy your show brings!!

I thought this would be a good way to catch up on the literature that I didn’t study in school. But after listening to over five minutes of requests for donations and reading of reviews telling me how great the podcast is before the podcast even started, I’m out.

I am an Engineer who loves to read but just lacks the motivation to do it sometimes. This podcast has filled those voids when I did not feel like touching a book, but still yearned to know more as I feared missing out on what all the students of literature have read or get to read on a daily basis. I have a bookstagram as well, so I am constantly searching for good books to read and review, and the interviews/discussions on the podcast helps me to know more about authors, poets and their books. Discussions with Mike are always fun to hear, and to be honest I just like their friendship and mutual love of books.

Several years ago Jacke did an episode on the poem Goblin Market. My favorite episodes are ones in which Jacke reads to us. This particular ep sent me down a wild path of internet searching for all things related to that poem. I still think about it all the time. Looking forward to whatever Jacke has in store for us for Halloween.

Can you try to sound like you care what you are talking about and not like you have a mustard stain on your shirt?

Love when the host is discussing with Mike Palindrome. They have a wonderful back and forth, and I love hearing their reactions to each others perspectives. Keep it up!! (And please more episodes with Mike)

I really wanted to love this podcast because I love literature. The chosen subjects are interesting but there is too much prattling on by the host. It takes 15-20 minutes to get into the actual topic and he still doesn’t stay on task. He seems like a nice person but this podcast is a miss for me.
