Ep. 1132, The Squaw, by Bram Stoker VINTAGE

4/21/2026
When a vengeful cat casts a spell, it's best to tread lightly. Bram Stoker, today on The Classic Tales Podcast. Welcome to this VINTAGE episode of The Classic Tales Podcast, where an audiobook format gives 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. I sent out a newsletter this week with links to our new products, a note on other stuff we've got coming down the pike, and a link to a hidden gem in the library. If you missed it, check your inboxes. I try to keep it short, sweet, and convenient. For years, I listened to David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens every year. There was just something nourishing when I revisited that story. There still is. The characters, the themes, the masterful language, it was a literary feast – and I always picked up something new. I don't know how you are, but sometimes I'm not at a place where I can handle a book. It just doesn't work for some reason. Then, a year or two later maybe, the same book absolutely hits the spot. With the audiobook library card, you can always find something that will meet you where you are. And you can start, stop, try again, as much as you want. In a Wodehouse mood? Dozens of hours.

Ep. 1130, The Moonlit Road, by Ambrose Bierce VINTAGE

4/14/2026
Discover the roots of Akira Kurosawa's film Rashomon. Ambrose Bierce, today on The Classic Tales Podcast. Welcome to this VINTAGE episode of The Classic Tales Podcast, where an audiobook format gives 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. Well, you've heard me talk a lot about The Audiobook Library Card. It's like Netflix for audiobooks, you can listen all you want, 18 years of recordings, there's tons of stuff, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm so happy to announce that now it's possible to buy multiple licenses and SHARE THE AUDIOBOOK LIBRARY CARD with your nearest and dearest. Maybe you're a family with a few bookworms who commute. Maybe you're a tutor with students who struggle to read. Maybe you're a therapist whose clients have trouble sleeping. Whatever the case, now you can extend the wonders of unlimited listening of the Classic Tales Library to your kith, kin, colleagues and compatriots. And the introductory prices are outrageously low. Like, five licenses for $19.99/month. Five. And it just gets better from there. Again, it's the best deal on the internet. Once you buy a subscription, we'll set you up to share with the people on your plan. Cancel anytime. It's a smorgasbord of listening enjoyment for all your friends and relations. Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com or follow the link in the show notes, and subscribe today. Today's story established the format for the short story "In a Grove", by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, the father of the Japanese short story. "In a Grove" influenced the great Akira Kurosawa to create the film Rashomon. The concept being that two witnesses can give widely different accounts of the same factual event. It may also serve as William James's thesis that "it is not so much the truth of events that matters, but how they are perceived, and the difference that they make to the perceiver". I hope you like it.

Ep. 1115, Michael Strogoff, Part 8 of 9, by Jules Verne

How can Michael and his companions hope to cross the mile wide Yenisei River, with no boat, raft or ferry? Jules Verne, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

Before we dive into today's story, I want to start a new little feature called the Word for the Week. Each week, we'll have a definition from the Devil's Lexicographer himself – Ambrose Bierce. Over the course of 30 years, Bierce nearly weekly wrote a cynical definition of a common word, sometimes consisting of poems, which he sold to various newspapers and periodicals. After 30 years, he collected all of these into one volume which came to be called The Devil's Dictionary. In keeping with the spirit of its creation, we'll hear one of his jocular definitions before we begin today's show. So, the Word for the Week is Infancy, and here to read it is Ambrose Bierce himself: INFANCY, n. The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth, "Heaven lies about us." The world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward. Thank you Mr. Bierce. And now, Michael Strogoff, Part 8 of 9, by Jules Verne.
