Like an high school literature class with a great
Would you consider the audio edition of The Classic Tales Podcast, Season Two to be better than the print version?
Yes. The is a varied collection of short stories and short novels. I've read many, but most are one that I probably ever got around to reading myself. And there were a few new authors to me.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Classic Tales Podcast, Season Two?
The Purple Dress by O. Henry. (I would like to hear Harrison perform more O. Henry).
What does BJ Harrison bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Bernice Bobs Her Hair by Fitzgerald and The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell.
If you could take any character from The Classic Tales Podcast, Season Two out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Sherlock Holmes from the Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle. There are many interesting characters, but Holmes may the most interesting character in literature. If not him, then Henry Adams from from Twain's Million Dollar Bank Note or the unnamed man from Jack London's To Build a Fire.
Any additional comments?
I look forward to listening to Classic Tales Podcasts 1 and 3.

One of my favorite readers
The choice of texts is flawless. The readings are engaging. One might not always agree with this or that characterization, but they still work.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this and Other Harrison readings and look forward to more.

Editing Problem
What did you love best about The Classic Tales Podcast, Season Two?
A good selections of stories that made me feel nostalgic for elementary and high school English classes.
Any additional comments?
At unpredictable intervals, sometimes between stories and at other times in the middle of a story, the narrator would start doing a preamble about the story, but it would not be complete and would suddenly cut to the story again. Then during the final story, the story restarted part way through and then would cut back and forth among preamble, story, and earlier part in the story! It was rather confusing; it needs to be edited.
