Truly great reading

I'm an almost daily listener of audio content, and Kevin Barry could be the best reader I’ve ever heard. Good story selection too.

dynamic, well read, smart, easy to listen to

very well done. the interview portion a nice touch. each story is read in perfect harmony matching the perspective of the story being presented.

to take note, 99.9% of all these stories have a melancholy feel to them. if you're looking for overtly cheerful or feel good stories this is not the place to find them. Though many of the stories are quite touching.
