• Travel Writing, Well-Designed Classics, and Setting to Sea on the Lit Hub Podcast

    Featuring Boris Kachka, Allison Miriam Smith, Brandon Taylor, Drew Broussard, and an excerpt from Lapham's Quarterly's 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.

    Happy birthday to us, it’s been a year since we launched The Lit Hub Podcast! Not that you’d know it, because Drew completely forgot and didn’t include a word about it in the episode itself. But still, we’re proud!!

    This week, Drew talks to Boris Kachka of The Atlantic about their new travel-writing series “The Writer’s Way” (featuring the likes of Lauren Groff visiting Lady Murasaki’s Kyoto and Honor Jones in le Carré’s Corfu). Then, Allison Miriam Smith and Brandon Taylor drop by to chat about why they launched Smith & Taylor Classics and how they’re putting together the colorful, playful, vibrant series of classics-in-conversation. And finally, to welcome “The World in Time” to the Lit Hub Radio family, an excerpt from a recent episode to whet your whistle.
