The Lit Hub Podcast Slows Down With Some Nice Things
Featuring Brittany Allen, Drew Broussard, Fiction/Non/Fiction, and a phone call from Maggie Smith
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.
Oh summer colds, you might be the worst kind of cold. But that won’t stop The Lit Hub Podcast!
This week, as we celebrate the dog days of summer, Brittany Allen drops by to tell Drew about curating Lit Hub’s ongoing, weekly list of nice things. Then, an intro (for those who don’t already know them!) to Lit Hub Radio stalwarts Fiction/Non/Fiction with an excerpt from their recent interview with Gary Shteyngart. And finally — in more ways than one — we’re opening up our phone lines! We want to hear from you! Our first caller is Maggie Smith, the new host of The Slowdown!
Oh, also, a shout-out to the Smith & Taylor reissue of Sarah Orne Jewett’s The Country of the Pointed Firs—a book from 1896 that reads like it could’ve been written by somebody today.
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.
