What will Michael do when he faces off with the one person in all of Russia who can blow his cover? Jules Verne, today on The Classic Tales Podcast. Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening. So I wake up the other day, and like a lot of you do, I check my email first thing.

Can Michael and his traveling companion cross the Ural Mountains with a storm on the horizon? Jules Verne, today on The Classic Tales Podcast. Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast.

G.K. Chesterton is most notable for his creation of Father Brown. This unlooked for, and often unwelcome, detective is actually not a detective. But rather, an individual trained to think as criminals think, for he has heard so many of their confessions. He knows how their minds work, and can piece together many things that others cannot.
Today’s story is from the first collection of Father Brown Stories, the Innocence of Father Brown.
And now, The Hammer of God, by G.K. Chesterton.
