The Classic Tales Podcast

Bobbie Wickham has a sort of gravitational pull when it comes to Bertie Wooster and sticky wickets. And she's at it again. P.G. Wodehouse, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.
 
Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast, where an audiobook format gives you an immersive experience in classic literature. You can get friendlier with the classics you know, and discover new favorites. I'm your host BJ Harrison.  I'm glad you could join us.
 
I sent out a newsletter this week with links to our new products, a note on other stuff we've got coming down the pike, and a link to a hidden gem in the library. If you missed it, check your inboxes. I try to keep it short, sweet, and convenient.
 
For years, I listened to David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens every year. There was just something nourishing when I revisited that story. There still is. The characters, the themes, the masterful language, it was a literary feast – and I always picked up something new. I don't know how you are, but sometimes I'm not at a place where I can handle a book. It just doesn't work for some reason. Then, a year or two later maybe, the same book absolutely hits the spot.
 
With the audiobook library card, you can always find something that will meet you where you are. And you can start, stop, try again, as much as you want. In a Wodehouse mood? Dozens of hours. Need to scratch a historical itch? How about Plutarch's Lives of famous Greeks and Romans, or The Count of Monte Cristo? Coming up on 19 years of personally narrated audiobooks.  
 
Also, you don't need to place orders. Buttons to download each title are found in the product description. It's super easy to bop around and see what you like. Now, you can share it with friends, family, or clients. Whatever works.
 
Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com and choose the plan that's right for you.
 
Now for our Word for the Week, by Ambrose Bierce. In this segment, we hear from the Devil's Lexicographer himself, as he delivers one of his caustic definitions.
 
The Word for the Week is Twice, and here to read it is Ambrose Bierce himself:
 
TWICE, adv. Once too often
 
Thank you Mr. Bierce.
 
And now, Jeeves and the Kid Clementina, by P.G. Wodehouse

Well, you've heard me talk a lot about The Audiobook Library Card. It's like Netflix for audiobooks, you can listen all you want, 18 years of recordings, there's tons of stuff, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm so happy to announce that now it's possible to buy multiple licenses and SHARE THE AUDIOBOOK LIBRARY CARD with your nearest and dearest.
 
Maybe you're a family with a few bookworms who commute. Maybe you're a tutor with students who struggle to read. Maybe you're a therapist whose clients have trouble sleeping. Whatever the case, now you can extend the wonders of unlimited listening of the Classic Tales Library to your kith, kin, colleagues and compatriots.
 
And the introductory prices are outrageously low. Like, five licenses for $19.99/month. Five. And it just gets better from there. Again, it's the best deal on the internet.
 
Once you buy a subscription, we'll set you up to share with the people on your plan. Cancel anytime. It's a smorgasbord of listening enjoyment for all your friends and relations.

Today's story established the format for the short story "In a Grove", by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, the father of the Japanese short story. "In a Grove" influenced the great Akira Kurosawa to create the film Rashomon. The concept being that two witnesses can give widely different accounts of the same factual event.
 
It may also serve as  William James's thesis that "it is not so much the truth of events that matters, but how they are perceived, and the difference that they make to the perceiver". I hope you like it.
 
And now, "The Moonlit Road", by Ambrose Bierce

The Word for the Week is Slang, and here to read it is Ambrose Bierce himself:
SLANG, n. The grunt of the human hog (Pignoramus intolerabilis) with an audible memory. The speech of one who utters with his tongue what he thinks with his ear, and feels the pride of a creator in accomplishing the feat of a parrot. A means (under Providence) of setting up as a wit without a capital of sense.
Thank you Mr. Bierce.

With the Audiobook Library Card, you gain access to everything I've personally curated from the public domain and recorded over the past 18 years. Every title was purposely chosen because it was calling to me for some reason. I needed to record it. A lot of people tell me that they can tell that I love every story I record. Well, I do. I'm passionate about the classics. And I'm glad it shows.
 
 
And now, "Aladdin, Part 5 of 5", from the Arabian Nights
