• New on the Lit Hub Podcast: The Windham-Campbell Prizes and A New Literary Tabloid

    Featuring Michael Kelleher, Sammy Loren, and Drew Broussard

    A weekly behind-the-scenes dive into everything interesting, dynamic, strange, and wonderful happening in literary culture—featuring Lit Hub staff, columnists, and special guests! Hosted by Drew Broussard.

    You might be mistaken in thinking that it’s a real high-culture/low-culture episode this week, but really it’s an all-joy-culture episode. Drew kicks things off with a quick nod to National Short Story Month before talking to Michael Kelleher about the 2025 Windham-Campbell Prizes and what makes the prize so special. Then, he chats with Sammy Loren about the new literary tabloid On the Rag and why pitching a broader, messier tent is a good idea. Go chase something that makes you (and, ideally, other people too) happy, damn it!
