• This Week on the Lit Hub Podcast: Reading All of Patrick O’Brian

    Featuring Olivia Wolfgang-Smith and Dan Sheehan

    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.

    This week, Olivia Wolfgang-Smith tells Drew about reading the entirety of Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series for her piece “Actually, Master and Commander is a Domestic Fantasy About a Codependent Life Partnership!” and Dan Sheehan stops by to explain why it matters that The Giller Prize (finally) dropped Scotiabank as a sponsor.
