? Classic literature: modernized. Phoebe Reads a Mystery takes a unique approach to storytelling. Hosted by Phoebe Judge, known for her other podcast: Criminal, the episodes feature readings of mystery novel chapters, one chapter per episode.

While this may seem slow, the goal is quite the opposite. The format allows listeners to savor each chapter at a gradual pace. This way, the tension from the mystery mirrors itself onto the listener.

She reads Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It has an eerie atmosphere and features gradually unfolding secrets that fit perfectly with the format of the podcast. Listeners become immersed into the story with each slow chapter, leaving them eager to hear the next one.

Why not just read the book? Judge’s soothing voice adds depth to the contents of the story, making it a unique auditory experience. This is more engaging and allows for opportunities to pause and reflect on the text, sparking new interpretations. Not to mention that it makes for a good listen on your commute.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can find the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or Spotify.
