Steve Reads – Episode 1: Chapter One of Something
Added 2021-05-31 15:54:56 +0000 UTCSteve reads most of a chapter of a classic novel that he used to teach.
STEVE READS is a new Patreon-exclusive series from DeepNerd Media. People have said for over a year now that they’d listen to Steve Shell, narrator of Old Gods of Appalachia, read the phonebook, cereal boxes, or whatever other mundane text he could lay hands on. Welp. Here you go, Family.

Wonderful! I've always loved this book, I'm teary-eyed already.

2021-06-21 00:30:21 +0000 UTCI had a teacher who spent the entire semester on Steinbeck and haven't read him since. I was so depressed by the end of that class.
2021-06-16 23:51:13 +0000 UTCI am a new member of the family here but have been listening to and loving Old Gods of Appalachia for the last 6 months. Definitely count me as one who would love to hear Steve read anything, including the phone book! Steve Reads is a wonderful gift and this first episode was amazing. Thank you!
