  • Ep. 1102, The Repairer of Reputations, by Robert W. Chambers VINTAGE
    Jan 6 2026

    A new era of prosperity is in the air. The crowning achievement? - The first Government Lethal Chamber is now open and ready for its first occupant. Robert W. Chambers, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

  • Ep. 1101, Michael Strogoff, Part 1 of 9, by Jules Verne
    Jan 2 2026

    The Grand Duke's life is in danger, and the telegraph wire has been cut. Who can carry a dispatch from the Czar across revolutionary Siberia in time to warn him? Jules Verne, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

    Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.

    Let's talk about ads. Now, most podcasts offer a subscription where you can pay $10 or so a month, and you get to listen to their show with no ads, and get a few bonus episodes. Here's the thing – this largely goes to benefit the podcast platforms. The actual creators don't get much.

    So, I created a better plan. For $9.99 per month, you get unlimited downloadable and streamable access to the entire Classic Tales Library. I've been building this for 18 years. This gives you access to longer books that wouldn't work in the podcast format. Books like Nicholas Nickleby, Moby Dick, or Plutarch's Lives. Only about a quarter of the books in the library were released through the podcast. So you can instantly download and listen to whatever you want, all the time. This is the Audiobook Library Card.

    Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com or follow the link in the show notes, and download and listen all you want.

    Today's story is the first in an episodic release of the novel Michael Strogoff, by Jules Verne. I don't know about you, but my favorite Jules Verne novel might be Around the World in 80 Days. Michael Strogoff is similarly commissioned with a race against time, but the story is placed in Czarist Russia, and is essentially a spy novel. This first episode is kind of a lot to set up, but once we get going – hold on tight!

  • Ep. 1100, Head and Shoulders, by F. Scott Fitzgerald VINTAGE
    Dec 30 2025

    Things turn topsy-turvy when a prodigy from Princeton falls for a spirited dancer in spite of himself. F. Scott Fitzgerald, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.
