Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast, where we use an audiobook format to give 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.

 

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 chosen with intent because it was calling to me for some reason. I needed to record it. After 18 and a half years of doing this, we're still winning awards and turning heads.  

 

Subscribe for the Audiobook Library Card for $9.99 a month and get access to it all. Thousands of hours of content at your disposal. It's the best audiobook deal on the internet.

 

Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com or follow the link in the show notes, and download and listen all you want.

 

I've discovered a new and easier way to listen to the audiobooks downloaded from the store, through the Audiobook Library Card or otherwise – it's the PocketBook App. It's just a little more intuitive than the KyBook app, and it's available for iPhone and Android. Links can be found in the show notes. I've also made a new video walkthrough so you can see how easy it is to download and listen using Pocketbook. Feel free to check it out.

 

Last week we introduced a little segment called the 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 Backbite, and here to read it is Ambrose Bierce himself:

 

BACKBITE, v.t. To speak of a man as you find him when he can't find you.

 

Thank you Mr. Bierce.

 

And now, Michael Strogoff, Part 9 of 9, by Jules Verne.
