I’m a hard hat wearing construction worker and laughed loudly at Love Among the Chickens. Enough so, that other trades now make signs to ward off evil when I venture near. The laughter may have risen a notch, or two, with the antics of one Bertie Wooster. ### 5/5 — wonderful! *2017-10-27* voice is easy to listen to and great selections ### 5/5 — ClassicTales *2017-08-16* I love these stories! I put them on at night and listen to them over and over. I have my favorites. Try it and see! ### 5/5 — Excellent podcast *2017-07-27* It's a nice app. Well organized. And the content is fantastic! I love B.J. Harrison's readings of the classics. Also has wonderful customer service if you have any problems. ### 5/5 — Best in its class *2016-07-08, version 2.0.30* I've been a listener for years and love the quality of the materials and podcasts that BJ produces. When I can't read, I'm listening to The Classic Tales podcast.

Not too busy and you can easily listen or find the links you want! Great app and a great program. Thanks for making it so useful! ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2014-12-07, version 1.20.4* I listen to this at work and while driving. Has gotten me back into reading. Best podcast ever. ### 5/5 — The best. *2014-11-04, version 1.20.4* An amazing value for such great classics, all expertly narrated. ### 5/5 — Best Way to Access Classic Tales *2014-10-09* I've been a fan of the Classic Tales podcast for several years - I would never read the books shared, but listening to BJ Harrison read them is a great way to pass my daily commute. With the changes to podcasts and the Apple Store this is, in my opinion, the easiest way to access the Classic Tales Podcast. ### 5/5 — Incredible podcast *2014-09-18, version 1.20.4* Been listening for years. BJ Harrison has a wonderful talent for bringing classic stories to life. I love the selections. Please keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Long time listener *2014-08-30, version 1.20.4* I've listened to TCTP for years! Never get bored and always love the stories ### 5/5 — Classic Tails a true Classic *2014-08-28* B.J. Harrison brings classic literature to life! He is an artist with such talent that each tale and it's characters are fresh every time. Me Harrison's vocalizations for each character are unique but not over dramatic. The listener is never left wondering " now is That the bad guy from chapter 1 or someone new?" Of course he is aided by the wonderful classic novels and short stories that never get fair treatment when brought to the screen. Mr B.J. Harrison is that wonderful dad or teacher who would read to us and let us get renewed by the might and majesty of Classic Tales ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-08-19, version 1.18.8* BJ does a great job selecting stories. He is also a wonderful voice actor. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2014-06-22, version 1.20.4* Amazing voices and characterizations! This adds another whole dimension that you don't get when reading. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2014-06-21* I have followed this podcast for some time. I love the artwork on the app and the bonus features. This gentleman's voice has gotten me through long road trips, sleepless nights, and so much mindless handy work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What's the difference? *2015-04-14, version 1.20.4* Love the podcast. Thought buying the app would get me older/more episodes than what's available in iTunes. Not so. Same episodes. That being said, I'm still BJ got my 2 bucks as the stories are well read and enjoyable. Thanks BJ. ### 4/5 — Even better than podcasts *2014-06-14* The content is great - super stories read very well. It's a tad annoying to not auto download in the background or be 'on the go' with the extras - just streaming. But knowing I gave a little back to BJH makes it worth it buying. ### 5/5 — Calanco60 *2024-10-10* Best audio podcast available! Variety of stories artfully produced. BJ, the host, has so much talent and taste. I always look forward to the next episode. He has exposed me to authors and stories I never knew about, or would have chosen. The best ambassador for literature I know! Thanks again for your exceptional work! ### 5/5 — Scaramouch *2022-03-23* Thank you B.J. Harrison I have listened to you for almost a decade. I have enjoyed every moment. I am on disability with a severe back injury so I stay in a lot of pain all the time. Listening to you helps me focus on overcoming some of those issues. I was listening on audible now I just use the app . It is just more convenient. Everything is right there. Sometimes is see people complaining about your voices and for the life of me cannot understand why. You are just about the best voice actor in the business. I found you store also and I am getting several pieces there. How would I get an autographed piece? I want one of the 12x12 prints of your logo signed. How do we make this happen? Kindest regards Larry P. ### 5/5 — Long time listener, best storyteller ever. *2021-06-01* BJ Harrison is hands-down among the top audio book readers out there - he belongs among George Guidall, Grover Gardner, Nadia May, even Rob Inglis. His Long John Silver causes me to listen to Treasure Island several times a year just to hear it again. Never disappoints. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-05-19* Can’t remember the last time I gave some thing a five star review. This guy is amazing ### 5/5 — Such great stories! *2020-12-11* Every story is so well done, I have literally zero complaints and all the praise to give! ### 5/5 — Red Mask...E A Poe ??? *2020-12-07* It is always both entertaining and exhilarating hearing such passionate portrayals of such moving and often esoteric literary gems...BJ, you’ve ‘mad skills ‘.🤡. ### 5/5 — Wish I found this years ago *2020-03-16, version 2.5.16* No words for how much I enjoy this podcast BJH is such a talent! I enjoy the type of books he reads, his characters and his personal accounts Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2019-10-16, version 2.5.16* It’s to the point that reading just isn’t as good an experience any more! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Quality Audio experiences for the entire family *2019-10-09* I’ve enjoyed The Classic Tales for years now. I’ve saved all of his weekly releases & purchased more than 5 books. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his excellently voiced characters, I didn’t realize B J Harrison did them all himself, I am very impressed with his accurate accents. They are so diverse in voice and affect, I was thrilled to be experiencing a deeper literary experience with each character coming alive! ### 5/5 — Best podcast *2019-07-19* Excellent - The Best!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
