What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Mr. Batchelor first got his wonderful hooks into me through his incredibly well prepared and thoughtful interviews with authors. I have purchased and read quite a few books based on these interviews alone. What is quite apparent is that Mr. Batchelor has most likely read the books he is discussing with the author or is intimately familiar with the subject matter. The pleasure that is apparent in the authors upon realizing this only adds to the interview. You see that’s how it started. Now I eagerly await reports from Australia on magpie activity, updates from Lancaster County regarding the shopping habits of the Amish community at the local Costco, discussions from 90 AD Londinium prior to attending the theater, first hand reports from the jungles of Panama on the Darien Gap, et al. I could go on and on. And I might. Thank you Mr. Batchelor. For anyone who is interested, the John Batchelor Show is an outstanding listen.
