• On the Lit Hub Podcast: Summer Reading and Writing Buddies

    Featuring Molly Odintz, Calvin Kasulke, Isaac Fellman, 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.

    Memorial Day Weekend is upon us and that means: summer reading! Yes, it’s true, you can wear white and it’s officially summer. Even if it’s already been summer where you live, temperature-wise or white-clothing-wise. Drew kicks us off with a bit of a tear about the AI-generated summer reading lists that got syndicated to papers this week (and mentions his own ongoing summer-reading-rec Bluesky offer, which has become unmanageable in a great way) before bringing on Molly Odintz to talk about some books that are exciting for summer as a little teaser for the Lit Hub list coming next week—and the CrimeReads list, out now!
    Then, Calvin Kasulke talks to friend and writing buddy Isaac Fellman about their unique writing relationship and how it helped influence both Calvin’s Several People Are Typing and Isaac’s latest book Notes from a Regicide.

    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.
