I love this podcast
This has quickly become my favorite podcast. I love the short story format that fits nicely within the timeframe of my commute home. The podcast has a wonderful selection of classic writers. It is a pleasant change from listening to the news and the dreary state of affairs of our nation on my ride home.

Love this
I usually listen to science fiction podcast stories and remembered that I used to listen to and love short stories. So my search brought me right to this podcast. Then I remembered that I had listened to another 1001 podcast from Jon Hagadorn so I got this and am really happy with the stories. One problem, I listen to the podcasts at night before falling to sleep. But for me Jon’s voice just hits me right in the “voice to fall asleep to” zone. So I find I usually fall asleep about 10 minutes into a story and everytime I wake up I have to reset the clock back to the last place I remember, usually about 10 minutes from when I last remember. But I absolutely HAVE TO FINISH IT. I then am so into the story that a 30 minute story takes about an hour to listen to. To contrast, most other podcasts I listen too have me still wide awake after an hour. So for me this podcast is so right for me on several aspects. Great stories that interest me with a great variety of authors and types of stories (Jack London to Ray Bradbury) and reading that actually relaxes me at night and interests me. Also, his favorites on Britbox are all of my favorites. Every one of them!

Absolutely love the pod cast !!!
I have listened to stories for the road and many of the great short stories . I just got through listening to how the first letter was written and found it to be quite amusing! I even laughed out loud several times (very unusual for me). Thank you for that great reading and wonderful selection of material!!!

Great voice for stories
There have been books I haven’t been able to get through with other narrators. Mr Jon Hagadorn has made formerly uninteresting classics captivating for me. I’ve never quit a book when it’s read by him!

Thank you
This podcast has saved me. I am a mailman driving four to six hours a day delivering my route. I listen to one story after another. Mr. Hagedorn has a calm, soothing voice. I’ve listened to other books on tape, but I always come back to 1001 short stories. All I can say is thank you

The Best!
This is better than therapy for me. I feel a friendship for our narrator and am grateful for the great stories. This is just the thing to cure the blues and maybe learn something along the way! Thank you from Patty in Bluefield West Virginia.

Love this podcast
I love this podcast. It’s like story time for grownups. The reader is excellent. I only wish he could do newer stories as well, but I understand copyright is a real issue. But I enjoy the classics and other stories I never knew. Thanks so much!

Bless you Jon
I am so glad I stumbled on your podcast, every story you have narrated that I have listened to has captivated me. I always dread winter, I am a gardener and love toiling in my flower beds, the smell of rich soil, and tending my green leafed friend. But I can bare my temporary prison indoors because I found you. ❤️❤️❤️

Good clean stories
In a world where there is so much filth, I’ve enjoyed listening to these classics. Thank you so much!

Wonderful Podcast
I’ve been listening for years and John’s soothing voice has entertained me through hours of cleaning, nursing my baby, and working out. Love listening to his chapter books from his other 1001 podcasts in the car on long road trips too. Thank you John for the hard work you do. Looking forward to listening to you share many more stories.

A good friend reads to you
This podcast reminds me of settling down to have a good friend read a story with you. Reading some classic short stories, relaxing, and appreciating good writing. It’s quite enjoyable.

Keeps you listening
I was desperate for something to listen to to stay awake on my long drive and found this! Very, very entertaining. You really get into the stories. I’m well finished with my holiday travels but still listening to the podcast. : )
