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.

It’s the holiday season! The season of advent! And if you’re listening to this, then you probably need a Short Story Advent Calendar in your life. Enter Michael Hingston and Natalie Olsen, proprietors of Hingston & Olsen, the very cool Canadian small press that does (among other neat projects) just such an advent calendar! They stop by to chat about the origins of the project and the press, why they’re switching it up this year with a Kevin Wilson-curated “12 Days of Stories” instead, and Drew fully geeks out about it.

Then, Brittany Allen, Calvin Kasulke, and Olivia Rutigliano join Drew to acknowledge the passing of the great Tom Stoppard, playwright and screenwriter extraordinaire. Come for the stories of their first Stoppard experiences, stay for the heartwarming musing about Stoppard’s impact on their lives!
