Letter from a Listener

This is the most WONDERFUL website! I found it this winter and it’s made my working day zip by. I work part-time in a museums storage unit here in the Oxfordshire countryside, and spend most of my days wrestling with big heavy boxes full of Anglo-Saxon pottery and sheep
bones and struggling through complex archaeological reports. Listening to Pride and Prejudice, Treasure Island, Five Children and It, The Call of the Wild, and all your terrific choices has made that much more fun. Read on!

Thanks,

Last week ago we chose:

And here is the randomly-chosen weekly poetry podcast:
Catharine Eastman and Tascat read:
