I don’t think I’ve posted about this recently so here you go! If you like stories this is it, a fantastic podcast. One of the few I don’t normally listen to while I am falling asleep because I don’t want to miss the endings. #podcast #stories #levarburtonreads @levar.burton https://www.instagram.com/p/CCmyk97jsIS/?igshid=lr6ybmfgisin

Welcome to #week13 of #podcastfriday !! . This podcast is, quite possibly, the PERFECT podcast for fiction lovers. This week’s show is Levar Burton Reads. It is exactly what it sounds like. The amazing man who shared books with us when we were children on Reading Rainbow, and kept us enchanted in Star Trek, is now sharing stories with us again! It is a dream come true ❤️ . These stories are decidedly more adult than those during our #RR days, but they are so brilliant. Levar starts out each show by sharing the title, about the author, and about why he has picked that specific story. Many of them dive into other cultures and times. Many of them bring about an emotional reaction. And all of them make you think. He then takes a deep cleansing breath, encourages his listeners to do the same, and begins to beautifully read the story. . At the end of each story, Levar pauses and then unpacks his feelings about certain moments or how he understands certain choices the author made. It is like a masterclass and a literature class all rolled into one. Occasionally he’ll even do a reading recorded live and then have a conversation with the author. It’s wonderful. . If you’re a fiction and story lover as I am, get ready for 58 episodes of fiction perfection read by one of our childhood/teenage heroes. So if you’re ready, let’s take a deep breath.... and begin ❤️ @levar.burton #levarburtonreads #levarburtonreadspodcast #weeklypost #listen #myjam #podcatcher #iphone #speakers #narrative #interviews #weeklyshow #authors #writing #giveitalisten #unpackandprocess #readingrainbow #storiesthatmakeyouthink #tvforyourears #entertainment #podcastfiction #audiobook #audiostories #apple #headphones #earbuds #seasons #alifeatthelanding https://www.instagram.com/p/B3yE3A6JmHY/?igshid=lqt2ksosxxjx

#currentlyreading 'The Known World' by Edward P. Jones The Known World is a 2003 historical novel by Edward P. Jones. Set in Virginia during the antebellum era, it examines the issues regarding the ownership of black slaves by both white and black Americans. I first heard about Mr. Jones when #bae and I went to see #levarburtonreads live on October 31st and he read one of his short stories. We were both captivated and enthralled by the story that I immediately bought all three of his books as soon as we got home. #readabook #blackauthor #blackexcellence (at Northeast Washington, Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp7WUlblKuh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rdyq4fsk3jpk
