  • Very in-depth discussions with Authors

    Been absolutely loving this podcast. You all invite great, thoughtful authors and deep dive into their work, deeply listening to them, ask very specific questions that are catered to them - and you all have great camaraderie with each other. Keep it up. Can’t wait to listen and get through the backlog of episodes.

I can’t believe this is a ... more

  • Author Names Should Be Pronounced Correctly

    I found it very unfortunate and off-putting that Medaya did not pronounce author, Mieko Kawakami’s first name correctly throughout the entire podcast episode on “Breasts and Eggs”. I couldn’t listen to the episode because that bothered me too much.
