  • Hot take but

    The paywall demands that I listen to each episode within a week of its release. If I like an author I have to intentionally write their name down. These are not horrible things. I actually think they make me value the stories more.

  • Literary Packing Peanuts

    Once again, The New Yorker publishes Allegra Goodman to remind readers that fiction can survive without plot, stakes, or discernible purpose. The story is a slurry of banal dialogue and narrative stasis, mistaking inertia for subtlety and dullness for seriousness. It reads like styrofoam packing filler shaped into sentences: a plain, unsalted rice cake that absorbs time, ink, and paper while offering nothing in return—a total waste of the reader and the page.

  • Paywall keeps public from discovering new authors

    Sad to see they moved this podcast behind a paywall.

    This podcast was a great source for discovering new authors and books, but now I can’t go back and find the name of authors and stories I like and want to recommend because of the paywall.

    I have no interest in subscribing to the New Yorker, I will continue to get audiobooks of short stories from my public library. This podcast will just no longer be a source of learning about new authors and their books.

    Also why is this the only New Yor... more
