The Art of Board Books and Psychedelic Magazines on The Lit Hub Podcast

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.

Spooky season is upon us! It’s Drew’s favorite month and he’s got a whole stack of Hallow-reads to keep him company — which has him in generally good spirits (buhdumtshhh) about the future.

This week, Hillary Brenhouse stops in to talk about launching ELASTIC, a new print magazine dedicated to psychedelic art and literature. Then, beloved illustrator Jon Klassen talks with Drew live at Rough Draft about the art of board books, why we should talk to kids about death, and letting go of projects that don’t work. It’s a fun one!

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.
