- Dorothy Richardson
You mentioned her Pilgrimage series in your Cusk podcast. I would love you to do one on her. I love her writing style, the stream of consciousness which creates such a rich view of the interior world of her characters she creates that other authors have subscribed picked up on and adapted.
Oh and all your podcasts are so interesting and caused my TBR pile to expand to dangerous proportions.

United States12 days ago - What Happened?
This used to be my favorite podcast - the only one I ever listened to, in fact. But what happened? Where’s John? I loved the podcast not only for the book discussions, but the back-and-forth between John and Andy, the way they reminisced, debated, bounced off each other. The charm has gone. RIP Backlisted.

Too many pretentious observations. Perhaps make the show 30 mins.
