Complaints? Nuts to 'em! They can press a button to not listen to your discussion at the end if they don't like it, personally I find it very helpful. Craic on, me owd mucker.
PLEASE never stop talking! That’s the very reason my husband and I love listening to you. You could ramble on all you wish and we would happily listen. Thank you so very much for reading to us in and sharing you beautiful voice with the world.
I do not agree with those who complain of your talks. I say, "Carry on!" You are a wealth of information! In My humble opinion. all the way from Oakland Ca USA. Thank you for your artistry!
I'm a retired crone with animals for companions: the doggo, cats, chickens, ducks and goats, wild birds and deer as well. I enjoy listening to your friendly, and educational, convo after the narration. Thanks.
WHAT!!!! I love the commentary and chatting. It makes me feel like I have my very own book club at my fingertips. Your historic comments puts the story into the time era perspective. Don’t stop your valuable input. 📚
People are so rude and ungrateful. To those who don't want to hear you talk. I suggest that they click away. Tony reads these wonderful stories and if he wants to share his knowledge with us he's free to do that. It's his channel and I like it just fine.
Say it like it is! Tony, I love your voice and your presentation style. I play your channel in my workshop,and if I listen to the same story four or five times I get all the bits that the drill press drowns out. Thank you for your hard work! D.
Your commentaries at the end distinguishes your channel from all the others. I’ve learned a quite a few things from the information you share after the readings
Please, Please - do NOT stop the commentary. I listen to audio books if I don't want to hear commentary..I listen to your podcasts because you are interesting and so informative and I value your observations and reflections. So relaxing and human. As I said, there is endless content available to those who just want to be read to. Please don't diminish what you do in order to appease those who can just as easily pay a small monthly fee for just a lovely voice reading a story. I am certain the majority of us listening to you listen for the whole experience which includes your thoughts and your knowledge. Thank you for your wonderful efforts. I (and many others) get so much from what you do. Keep doing it just as you are inspired to do!
Personally, I really enjoy the talking. You often give interesting back stories and personal context. It makes the stories that much richer. I hope you don’t drop that aspect of your show. Being a seminarian that loves tales of the supernatural, this story spoke to me. It is a pretty big deal to refuse confession especially for the RC church. In that tradition, by denying someone the sacrament of confession it would also be to deny them absolution. That’s not my tradition, but we still can’t turn a person in need out to the cold.
Hey bro keep doing what you're doing I use your stories to go to bed to all the time and it's nice and relaxing you've done an excellent narrating voice
Who told you you talk too much? I absolutely love the bits and pieces of knowledge you are good enough to share with us! Please, I beg of you, ignore them and continue just as you have. Apart from the excellence of your stories, and the beautiful way you read, it’s one of the things I love about your channel.
I love that you talk to us like we're all good friends!! Please don't stop talking to us! Of course, it is the best plan to put the chat at the end of the story, because that is the best time to comment on the story while we are still digesting it. And also because if anyone does not want to hear commentary for any reason, they can easily skip it. But I have yet to hear any reading from you that was not perfectly done, enchanting and still so human. Thank you for so many wonderful stories!
I am from the US and and have always loved the Northern English accents. It's hard to explain but it just calms me down and is beautiful. You do whatever floats your boat. I'll be listening.
Dear Mr. Walker, please don't change anything. I very much enjoy your thoughtful, intelligent, interesting observations and illuminations which accompany your readings!! How nice it would be if we all could converse? The negative naysayers can go jump in the lake. 😋
Hello from NYC, USA. I don't think you talk too much. The commentary is VERY informative and interesting. I believe it adds to your overall presentation; which I believe is excellent! PLEASE carry on! Thank you!
I love your enlightening commentary. And your super plummy voice. And chat on abt where you are from and ideas and snippets of this and that. We can't travel now. Let us experience something different from our area and those who aren't pleased can listen to the story then go elsewhere. I'm staying till the credits roll!!
This is a really nice story. Thanks for sharing it. I also very much look forward to your comments after the story, which I often enjoy as much as the story itself. So please continue to do so.
please don't stop "the talk" , what you say is always interesting and, for me, it is a big part of what i like in your videos, it makes it different from all the other "reading stories" channels ; thank you for your work :)
Haunting and beautiful! Loved this story! (I always close my eyes as you are reading. That way I can concentrate on the words of the story and your voice.) Thank you!
I've enjoyed your narration. I would however like to say that it is your channel. Run it the way you want to. Chat as much as you want. You cannot please everyone.
So glad I found this channel. Usually I feel I have to read a story myself to truly absorb it but you read them aloud so well that that’s not the case!
CARRY ON BROTHER, SOME OF US LOVE IT. YOU ARE THE REASON I STARTED LISTENING TO THESE STORIES. THERE IS ONLY A VERY SMALL NUMBER WHO DO THIS VERY WELL. CARRY ON............
Tony, don’t listen to the critics. Keep doing what you do. It’s the reason we’ve subscribed in the first place. We appreciate the bits on story backgrounds and your thoughts. Don’t stop.
The first time I heard you talking about a story I was so pleased and thought it was a wonderful addition. I think your voice is perfect for telling these stories too. ♥️🥰
So probably unbeknownst to you, you have become a form a therapy...at least to me. I love the stories, the commentaries and the sound of your voice. It keeps me from "thinking". Much needed at the moment. I am very grateful and appreciative of the time you put into doing this. Thank you.
Please don't let (some) people change what we have all been enjoying. Your stories are so enjoyable, and interesting. If people don't like it they can fast forward. Please keep doing that thing you do! Perfectly!,
Don't pay any attention to them Tony! You are wonderful! I love listening to your stories while I work cataloging books by many of the authors you read.
Your comment that "Anatole Le Braz means Big Tony so it's appropriate that I'm reading it" made me laugh! "My handle is actually Big Tony Walker" lmao! I loved learning some things about the Breton language and a little of Welsh from you in this video. It's ashame that some languages are dying out but thanks to people like you, hopefully they'll be able to flourish!
Please don’t stop the commentaries. I love hearing why you chose the story and learning of the author. I also enjoy your thoughts on the plot, characters and setting. It enriches the reading.
Excellent story Tony, and as always wonderfully told by you. I prefer to hear your insightful commentary with each and every tale. I love to learn more about these authors and their histories. Please in future ramble on!
Omgoodness, Tony! How did I not know you had a youtube channel?! This is Sandra Vail and I have been listening to your podcast for about 1.5 yrs now. I'm also a patreon supporter. I'll admit to being behind on listening as I used to listen during long drives to work, but that job is long gone. Either way, I'm thrilled to see you here! And please forget those negative nellies and keep the commentary 🙂
Mr. Walker, please do NOT stop your commentary! Its your channel, and the content you so generously share with us is what makes it such a great one. Please just continue to "do you".. and I for one will happily continue to listen with utmost appreciation. I'd also like to apologize for the rudeness and lack of couth of some people. As my wise dad used to say, "It cost nothing to have common courtesy.". When someone was rude he'd also say, "Consider the source..".
I always find your comments interesting and useful toward gaining a fuller depth of understanding of the stories as well as their relation to other writers and cultural connections. Thank you! 😊
Thanks!…..What a lovely, moving, little tale-penned by one who possessed true empathy.…I’m new to your channel, and am enjoying this introduction to authors previously unknown to me….
Your extra commentary on The Sandwalker was almost the best bit when I discovered the author had emigrated to Dunedin, where I am now. That interesting titbit turned a superbly read story into a personal moment. Please don't listen to the detractors and keep on adding depth to the storytelling.
Please listen to your fans. We love listening to you talk. Makes me sad Tony. People suck. Just know that your fans are true and your voice means so much to all us lonely introverts who treasure listening to you talk and read.
Oh, don't worry, every creator has different content. Some talk and some don't. I think a few words aside of the story are quite relaxing and good to bring one back from the story. But maybe that's what others don't enjoy. Everyone is different in their tastes.
I really enjoyed your live reading. It drew me in. Story telling is an ancient art, and the face and expressions of the storyteller cannot be done e away with, without losing a great part oif the pleasure. Keep it going,Tony.
Definitely keep the commentary that you normally do. I always found it really interesting hearing about the author and the thoughts that have went into the stories. It adds so much more depth of understanding for me. Not many channels do that.
Actually, I didn't realise other people didn't do it. For some reason I always want to say something about how I found the story. Not that I'm an expert, far from it.
I'm sorry. My grandpa's family was 100% Welsh. He spoke Welsh and belonged to the Welshman's choir in his little town in Iowa. I should have known. I loved how you explained the Breton language. I visited Wales when I was a child. I remember Wales and Scotland. I'm from Chicago and as a child the beauty of the hills and coast and just all of the nature that surrounded these countries made such an impact on me.
I enjoy your channel very much! You have a wonderful reading voice, and I will share your channel to some friends! Thank you, and here’s to being resourceful!! 😊👍
Tony. I really ENJOY your post story reviews and talks. They offer some insights. When you 'drift' it is delightful. why? It adds humanity, intimacy and personability into your podcast. People who cant handle that are more than welcome to move on before your post story 'rambles'. I say keep them coming.
Complaints?
Nuts to 'em!
They can press a button to not listen to your discussion at the end if they don't like it, personally I find it very helpful.
Craic on, me owd mucker.

I love hearing about the authors etc...that you share with us.
Only two words are required for complainers. I would put them here, but you know what they are.
Keep up the great work!
Hey bro keep doing what you're doing I use your stories to go to bed to all the time and it's nice and relaxing you've done an excellent narrating voice

Beautiful story ❤
I enjoy the commentary. At the end is fine, but I'd hate to see you drop it.
Yes it might stain the carpet lol
Don't stop the commentary. I love your additions!
You are amazing...stop letting any neg. anything interrupt your focus, or hard worked story line. We love you, remember this and rock it 🙏🙏🙏
I love that you talk to us like we're all good friends!! Please don't stop talking to us!

You are kind Kari. Nice for me to hear this this morning
Keep the discussion please! And thanks I really appreciate your readings
I am from the US and and have always loved the Northern English accents. It's hard to explain but it just calms me down and is beautiful. You do whatever floats your boat. I'll be listening.
I too like your descriptions,very much. Please don't stop your commentary.
Dear Mr. Walker, please don't change anything. I very much enjoy your thoughtful, intelligent, interesting observations and illuminations which accompany your readings!!
How nice it would be if we all could converse?
The negative naysayers can go jump in the lake. 😋
You said it!
I wonder if we could do a mini book club? I used to go to a book club but novels are too long.
@@ClassicGhost Now THAT I would enjoy. Really like your intelligent insights at the end, would love to share more!
Hello from NYC, USA. I don't think you talk too much. The commentary is VERY informative and interesting. I believe it adds to your overall presentation; which I believe is excellent! PLEASE carry on! Thank you!
I think I’d I do it at the end is best. Then those who only want the story can get what they want
I love your enlightening commentary. And your super plummy voice. And chat on abt where you are from and ideas and snippets of this and that. We can't travel now. Let us experience something different from our area and those who aren't pleased can listen to the story then go elsewhere. I'm staying till the credits roll!!
That was fun! Do more please! I love the commentaries after too because they give me great insight into the writer and the story. Thank you.
Yeah my iPhone packed in (stopped) twice!
Everybody's a critic, or so they say. I enjoy your commentary.
Excellent story and narration.
Cheers
I personally never felt you to be too talkative. I rather enjoy the feeling of having a chat with an old friend. Love your stories!
Thanks.
I, for one, enjoy the chatting. Hearing your analysis of the story adds background and interest for me.
Yep as a completely new listener I enjoy your comments. :) thanks for helping me relax
I love that you're a normal person and I love your voice. Thank you for your work.
Ditto!
This is a really nice story. Thanks for sharing it.
I also very much look forward to your comments after the story, which I often enjoy as much as the story itself. So please continue to do so.

Haunting and beautiful! Loved this story! (I always close my eyes as you are reading. That way I can concentrate on the words of the story and your voice.) Thank you!
Do not stop talking!!! I live it!!!
They can turn it off if they don’t want to listen. Ur great
Those who complain may sod off, l love listening to you!🤗😷🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing your knowlege about these stories. Please continue as you are doing. The dissatisfied can just leave. after the stories.
Your comments are always worth listening to and only add to your presentation. I enjoy your thoughts, so please do not stop. Thanks!
I've enjoyed your narration. I would however like to say that it is your channel. Run it the way you want to. Chat as much as you want. You cannot please everyone.
That’s an important lesson. You’re right. You can’t please everyone
Your 'chatting' is your point of difference. Much loved by many (as you can see by all these comments).
Ah the curse of being a northerner.. We all have a tendency to be verbose.. I rather enjoy hearing you chat on
Ha ha
Me too 😊
Better than being a snobby southerner lol
@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 🤣🤣🤣
So glad I found this channel. Usually I feel I have to read a story myself to truly absorb it but you read them aloud so well that that’s not the case!
CARRY ON BROTHER, SOME OF US LOVE IT. YOU ARE THE REASON I STARTED LISTENING TO THESE STORIES. THERE IS ONLY A VERY SMALL NUMBER WHO DO THIS VERY WELL. CARRY ON............
"That which belongs to the Dead, becomes an instrument of hell fire in the hands of the Living.."
What a great line.
Tony, don’t listen to the critics. Keep doing what you do. It’s the reason we’ve subscribed in the first place. We appreciate the bits on story backgrounds and your thoughts. Don’t stop.
Thank you. Thank you :)
Love this still, two years later. I truly miss the visuals, wish you would reconsider, and Tony, You do NOT talk too much!😊🙃👍👍👍
Fantastic stories please keep them coming
Thank you!
That was a beautiful story. Love hearing all the extra commentary. It makes your channel unique.
I appreciate that!
The first time I heard you talking about a story I was so pleased and thought it was a wonderful addition. I think your voice is perfect for telling these stories too. ♥️🥰
Very nice of you are much kinder than your sister Jet (see her comment in Brickett Bottom)
It's so good to see so many people are encouraging you to continue your discussions at the end of the stories. Please listen to them!
It has been lovely
I want to hear everything. I enjoy the information about the stories. Carry on I say 😌
I love your commentary. It enriches my appreciation for these narrations. Please, please don’t stop.
So probably unbeknownst to you, you have become a form a therapy...at least to me. I love the stories, the commentaries and the sound of your voice. It keeps me from "thinking". Much needed at the moment. I am very grateful and appreciative of the time you put into doing this. Thank you.
Yes, too much thinking isn't good for you. It's a labour of love for me though, so it's a double bonus that you like it too
Please don't let (some) people change what we have all been enjoying. Your stories are so enjoyable, and interesting.
If people don't like it they can fast forward. Please keep doing that thing you do! Perfectly!,
Don't pay any attention to them Tony! You are wonderful! I love listening to your stories while I work cataloging books by many of the authors you read.
Great work, never change a winning format x

The people complaining should foxtrot oscar, mate!!
Do your thing....we heart you very much 👍💚💛💙💜
I think it’s good to hear someone read a story out loud, even only in the virtual word.Thank you 🌹
I'm conflicted. I like doing it, but the audio quality is much worse and I don't have the fancy software to improve it on video
I love the commentary!!!
How could we fully appreciate the stories without your excellent insights and commentary? Keep it up Tony, the more the better!!
Excellent story Tony, and as always wonderfully told by you. I prefer to hear your insightful commentary with each and every tale. I love to learn more about these authors and their histories. Please in future ramble on!
Thank you :)
Thank you i really enjoyed your commentary and the owl. I also enjoyed your chatter at the beginning and the end .Jenny.
Please-ignore-the-"complaints"-Tony...your-channel-is-uniquely-entertaining-and-informative...Keep-up-the-great-work!
I guess you can't please everyone. I must learn that.

Absolutely 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Loved it. Thank you 😊
I love all your tangents! I always learn something!
The "blather on" is part of the charm of you and your channel. Don't change a bit of it.
That reading is so good, you executed it with finesse. The story is instructive and wonderful. Thank you
You are very kind!
Boo I love your comments! Obviously the way you have been doing your program is working!
I love the commentary at the end! Hopefully you can see from the comments here that we don’t want you to stop that!
Yes the support for them has been overwhelming
Oh, don't worry, every creator has different content. Some talk and some don't. I think a few words aside of the story are quite relaxing and good to bring one back from the story. But maybe that's what others don't enjoy. Everyone is different in their tastes.
I really liked this story. Great job, thank you!
You never talk too much Tony, you're filled with enlightening remarks.
I've really been enjoying your readings Tony Walker. Your voice is so soothing and comforting.What a great story.
This was wonderful. To see you reading. Really wonderful.
I just need to get my mic and camera optimised
I really enjoyed your live reading. It drew me in. Story telling is an ancient art, and the face and expressions of the storyteller cannot be done e away with, without losing a great part oif the pleasure. Keep it going,Tony.
Love listening to you.
I loved the story and the “lanterns” are an unexpected touch!😊
Thanks! I loved this story 😘💗
How lovely to see you!!
I too enjoy your comments and conversations.
Thank you. 😊😊
You can't please everyone. Do what your instinct tells you. I can listen to you 24/7.
Definitely keep the commentary that you normally do. I always found it really interesting hearing about the author and the thoughts that have went into the stories. It adds so much more depth of understanding for me. Not many channels do that.

I am simply grateful for the wonderful stories and all of it - thank you so very much for the work, it gives hours of enjoyment.
Im glad you enjoy it
I love hearing you speak! Don't listen to the village idiots. Awesome story...thank you ‼❣
Just as enchanting this time as the first. Wish I could more thumbs up here. Thank you.
I'm sorry. My grandpa's family was 100% Welsh. He spoke Welsh and belonged to the Welshman's choir in his little town in Iowa. I should have known. I loved how you explained the Breton language. I visited Wales when I was a child. I remember Wales and Scotland. I'm from Chicago and as a child the beauty of the hills and coast and just all of the nature that surrounded these countries made such an impact on me.
You are the most incredible narrator I’ve ever heard. Thanks Tony. All is more than well.
I am blushing! Thank you though
I enjoy your channel very much! You have a wonderful reading voice, and I will share your channel to some friends! Thank you, and here’s to being resourceful!! 😊👍
Thank you so much!
