• New on the Lit Hub Podcast: Traci Thomas of The Stacks, Jonny Diamond on Lit Hub’s 10th Birthday, and More Poetry!

    Featuring Jonny Diamond, Traci Thomas, Olivia Rutigliano, Dan Sheehan, 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.

    If you didn’t hear the song earlier this week, it’s Lit Hub’s 10th birthday! Double-digits, y’all! It’s exciting stuff and so obviously Jonny Diamond had to drop by to tell us a bit about the occasion as well as some site-lore. (PS it’s always a great time to become a Lit Hub member…)

    Then, Traci Thomas comes on to chat about her podcast The Stacks and the amazing STACK THE SHELVES event she’s putting up in LA on May 4th to support those who lost libraries (and more) in the wildfires earlier this year.
    Plus, poetry from Olivia Rutigliano (reading Philip Sidney’s “Sonnet 1” from Astrophil and Stella) and Dan Sheehan (reading W.B. Yeats’s “The Fisherman”)!

    The Lit Hub Podcast is a production of Lit Hub Radio and is available wherever you get your podcasts; music by Dani Lencioni of Evelyn; Engineering and production by Stardust House
