YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWelcome to the Pens and Poison Podcast! This is not your ordinary literature podcast. Join writer Liza Libes as she explores the state of humanities education, the publishing industry, and the literary world at large through a series of spicy interviews, hot takes, and literary ramblings.
On today’s episode, Liza talks to BJ Harrison, host of The Classic Tales Podcast and audiobook connoisseur. In 2007, when his Classic Tales Podcast hit the scene, listeners were enthusiastic and voracious. The show peaked as the #3 podcast in iTunes. Pretty soon, Audible came calling to talk about a new program called ACX. Now, over 800 audiobooks later, he continues to impress critics and listeners alike. Audiofile says he narrates with “gusto” and “enthusiasm”. TIME opts for “soothing”.
One thing is clear – BJ tempers his formidable narrator toolbox for the task at hand. It’s always thrilling to discover where he’ll take us next.
