What is litreading?
First, it’s a podcast featuring my presentation of great old short stories. Additionally, it’s a true labor of love created to entertain those who enjoy listening to a great story (and who doesn’t?).
Why are the stories so old-fashioned?
Primarily because they are (old). However, the stories are some of the finest ever written. The times may have changed but the underlying human emotions haven’t. While there are lots of great new stories, reading those would require acquiring the rights to perform them – a complex and expensive process. Stories created more than 95 years ago are in the “public domain,” therefore copyright free, which allows me to provide them free to you.
Where can i listen?
I have tried to submit the podcast to all of the popular syndicators like Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeart, TuneIn, etc. If I missed your favorite, please drop me a line. You can also listen to all of the stories right using the player below.
How do you choose the stories?
Lots and lots of reading. I only select those stories that moved me somehow and lent themselves to my reading style.
Can I suggest a story for a future episode?
Absolutely! But, it’s a benefit for subscribers (see below).
How often are episodes created?
My goal is one new story per week. I may do more in the future.
Is it really free? Are there ads?
I am not doing this for the money. But, there are costs involved and creating these takes a lot of time. Thank goodness I have a good job (creating podcasts). To help defray costs and make this venture worth my effort, I do embed ads at the beginning and end of episodes (and maybe at chapter breaks). I will never interrupt the story. If you hate ads, please subscribe below.
