- Fantastic, love listening to Miwa
Thorough and engaging interviews that broaden one’s understanding of the context and meaning of a work. Reminds us that art doesn’t happen in a vacuum; all the content we love, that moves and changes us, is carefully nurtured and shepherded by people who got there before us and are welcoming us in. Grateful for this sophisticated podcast and for Miwa’s velvety voice. Also, hearing Annie Leibovitz call someone a legend is all the recommendation I’ll ever need.

Really enjoy this podcast except when host, Miwa Messer, is the interviewer. She constantly interrupts the authors and seems to be always struggling to say what she thinks is the most profound statement of all time.
Sadly, the George Saunders episode was one where she must have told us (annoyingly) that she’s been a “bookseller forever” a bazillion times, and she interjected herself needlessly throughout.
Worse still, she completely tramples over Heather Ann Thompson with long pauses and un... more
