A fanboy to this fanboy of literature

I may lack the critical distance of some of the negative reviewers of this podcast, but for me it is rare to find a love of literature that Jacke exhibits on each episode of his podcast. Not only is his enthusiasm refreshing, but this podcast blends the right mix of critical analysis, informative facts about the authors and works, and the humor and personality of Jacke and his guests. To those who are turned off by reflections on current social issues, politics, and personal lives of the podcasters, I say it is the poor reader who doesn’t allow great works of art to color their vision of the world they experience both public and private. I applaud the courage of the host and his guests for expressing their rumination on these works in an open and honest way.
