Essential
Am I really the first person to review this Podcast? It's incredible: short stories from the New Yorker archive, selected and read by well-known authors and bookended by intelligent and insightful discussion with the New Yorker's fiction editor, Deborah Treisman (whose voice is so mellow she could have a side-career lulling children to sleep). Unmissable.
Thank you
Utterly brilliant - I've discovered so many new writers, found out more about ones I already new, and I love hearing writers talk about writing. It couldn't be a more perfect format.
If you have to get on a train you need this in your life....
My ridiculously long journey on a packed, mouldy old train would be so much worse without this delicious distraction. I can't get enough of this.
