Episode 784
In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from the poetry of George MacDonald. Today we’re reading a selection from “A Broken Prayer.”

It would be nice to have the text you quote in the podcast notes. A few words in this poetic section I didn’t understand. Also a bibliographic link to the book would be appreciated.

Hi Bob, thanks for your feedback! I’m curious what podcast app you are using. In the Apple Podcasts app, on Facebook or Twitter, and here on the website, you can definitely see the full text of the quotations I use. (I only don’t provide them for Bible series.) As for providing bibliographic information, I actually do provide those links when appropriate. For this series, I did not use a book, so the link provided is to information about the poet. I hope that’s helpful, Bob. Do let me know if you’re not seeing the podcast notes on the app you use, and I’ll look into it to see if there is a technical glitch I can troubleshoot for you.
