🌈I was 9 and loved watching when Reading Rainbow began in 1983. When I grew out of it, I was the perfect age to start watching Star Trek: The Next Generation when it began in 1987. I am an (almost) lifelong fan of Levar. I can’t believe I had not heard of this podcast before! EDIT: I have now binged many episodes and it’s even better than I expected! Grateful for multiple more seasons to binge!

My all-time favorite podcast. I discovered so many wonderful writers through Levar Burton’s podcast, and he always had such insightful thoughts about the story in his closing comments. I really miss hearing from him every week!
Good-bye, Mr. Burton

I just listen to the last episode. I’m so sad. I can’t believe that LeVar Burton will no longer be reading stories for us. Thank goodness for 13 seasons of episodes to listen to again.
