The Best Literary Podcast Out There
From story selection to sound design this is the best literary podcast that exists. Please make more episodes!

One of the most intriguing and elegant podcasts I’ve ever enjoyed.

A beautiful treat
I love this podcast! Love, love, love it. Music, acting, writing - it’s a triple threat. You can even dance to it. Feel like it elevates my mind and alleviates cultural deprivation every time I listen.

My favorite podcast period!
So good! I feel like I’m hanging out with the coolest artists when I listen. A collage of poetry, spoken word stories and weirdness…

Engaging, interesting, enjoyable
I love this podcast. It takes me on a journey and drops me back later. Great way to pass the time in rush hour traffic.

🌼The most beautiful podcast ever produced!🌏🍁
Beautiful sound stories selections. Diverse unexpected. The very best of the East Coast literary scene through the years sprinkled throughout with European flair. Most akin to a beautifully produced BBC podcast. A must hear even on repeat for the over educated and under paid aesthetes of this world.

The highest quality
The sound production, the literary selections, and the choice and performance of readers is absolutely excellent. I had never thought of subscribing to the Paris Review before I listened to this podcast, but now I have to.

So Good
Excellently produced stories, a fantastic archive to pull content from. Got me to subscribe to The Paris Review magazine—on real paper and ink! Waiting patiently for that third season. Would love to see Borges featured 🤞

The best literary podcast ...
... From the first episode of season 1 this podcast completely captured me, the blending of fiction, poetry, writers’ interviews, and the occasional essay, mixed with some of the best sound design and music of any podcast makes every episode a special treat. I’ve listened to many of them more than once, and it quickly led me to subscribe. More. Please.

Super well done.
Super well done. Better than an audio book due to the presentation effort/sound affects/music. So enjoyable. Thanks.

More please!
One of the most satisfying and interesting podcast I have heard. Sadly I have listened to them all twice. When do we get new episodes?

Plimpton would be pleased
The use of old interviews, stories, poetry & music weaved together is a joy to hear. It captures my mind like no other podcast. Well done.

Unlike any other podcast
The production value and sound design is really immersive. Being a fan of ephemera, I really enjoy hearing old stories and interviews from the Paris Review archives brought to the digital age.

Breathtaking
Deep, funny, transporting. Extraordinary production value and readings.

Amazing
What a precious gift. Each podcast is so beautifully crafted, so moving, so thought provoking. Thank you to everyone contributing to this excellent experience!

Misogyny with a dash of racism...
....and sexual assault as a garnish. Really confused how Ep. 16, which was basically a cheesy rap video in written form, made the editorial cut. Why is misogyny and sexual assault ok if it comes from a black man? Is this what we are to expect the rest of the season? If so, I’ll unsubscribe now.
The Real Zen Boy
Interesting content/ Excellent delivery
Look forward to each new podcast. Thankful The Paris Review is back for a second season! Keep em coming!

Beauty and depth
Listen to Episode 15 immediately. It contains a beauty and depth sorely lacking in our world.

Keeps getting better
Really enjoyed season one. If you want a podcast that is polished and has a literary podcast format then this one is for you. In season two that the podcast just keeps getting better.

Wonderful
Such a moving thoughtful entertaining beautifully assembled series. Each episode a work of art in itself. Whoever does the audio mix (credited? I never catch it) is sooooooo good. Thank you.

A gift from the heavens
This is an actual gift. Thank you.
jillian mayer
keep it simple
love the content but the music and artful mixing are a distraction.

Season 2 starting strong!
I loved season 1—but season 2 is already sounding even better, if that's possible. Starting off with Toni Morrison? That's how you come out swinging. Beautifully produced and immersive. Definitely worth a listen.

What a great literary pod!
Love it!

S1 Starts slow, gets great, took too long for season 2
Very glad season 2 of this podcast is on its way. Season 1 started a little weak. If you start with episode 1, you’ll be disappointed. Start with S1 episode 12 and work back. No story arch, so nothing lost by working back in this way. I can’t remember exactly when but at some point this podcast became amazing. The treasure trove of TPR archive is put to work with taste, timing and skill. If you listen to Granta or other like publication’s podcasts, this one is a million miles better - it just didn’t start that way. I assumed they’d given up on the podcast as season 2 has been a long time coming. If it is as good as the later part of season 1, we are all in for a treat.

Will this ghastly immersion return?

Great Podcast
Of course the Paris Review puts together a great podcast. They have a nice variety of authors in each episode and make better use of music than many literary pods. 10/10 would recommend

Will there be a Season 2???
I like the style and the setup to this pod. Rare gifts of long forgotten audio interactions and interviews with some of my favorite authors. Hoping there will be a S2 as I’ve had this locked in my favorites for some time.

Come back!
What happened to this podcast? I binge listened to it only to realize they haven’t produced anything in a year. I truly hope there is a future for this podcast! I love it so much.

Season 2
Loved - and still loving season one. Anticipating the next season. Please hurry!

Waiting for Season 2!
I have listened to Season 1 two times. I love the soundscapes, pacing, voices, and words. Waiting for Season 2!

Where are you?
You're done? I want you to return asap.

Are you coming back or you’re gone forever?
I have waited too long to remember this podcast, used to be my favorite.

Bring it back!!!!
Please!

Perfect
A soundscape instead of a formal podcast. This is the perfect way to share the content with us, and I’ve never heard anything like it before. My only complaint is that it’s so new that I don’t have an infinite backlog of episodes to turn to, otherwise I’d listen every night before bed.

Wonderful podcast!
Production value is by far the best I’ve heard of the dozens of shows I listen to regularly.

Love the Stories
The voices, pacing, and subtle sound effects are magical. I have heard every episode so far, and I can't wait for Season 2.

Civilized
3 dimensional Paris Review assembled from paper, ink, and sound. And not just any sound — voices of the famous and infamous, sound effects, and evocative music. The perfect Sunday auditory treat.
