Excerpts, not into

As long as you realise that this is a promotional podcast for Timson's reading of Our Mutual Friend and not in fact an introduction of the sort you might find at the start of a printed copy of a classic novel, you'll be fine. 'Excerpts' would describe it better than 'introduction'.
