• The Lit Hub Podcast is Pro-Trans-Presses, Pro-Fan-Fiction, and Anti-AI

    featuring Brittany Cavallaro, Calvin Kasulke, Casey Plett, Cat Fitzpatrick, Oliver Scialdone, McKayla Coyle, 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.

    We’re riding the high of something going right in the world (see: NYC’s mayoral primary) and leaning mostly into hijinks and happiness this week—but not before we remind you all of the very real stakes facing artists of all stripes right now, the frankly-existential threat that is generative AI.

    First up, Brittany Cavallaro drops by to introduce the “Against AI” open letter that Lit Hub just published. Then, Calvin Kasulke hosts a rollicking conversation with Cat Fitzpatrick and Casey Plett about LittlePuss Press, trans publishing, and what it’s like to run a small press. Finally, Drew chats with McKayla Coyle and Oliver Scialdone about fan-fiction in a conversation with perhaps more giggles-per-minute than any we’ve yet aired on the show. Maybe.
