    Addendum added June 5, 2024:

    Recently the podcast has switched providers from Evergreeb Podcasts to a mew provider. Since then I have not been able to download any new episodes to my Victor Reader Stream which is a mp3 player utilized by the blind community to access podcast content without having to look

    at a screen. It would be helpful to change Evergreen to the current provider on all podcast platforms. In this way, those of us who access content other then visually by a iPhone can hopeful... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jessica M. Goldstein - RETRO
Q: Before we wrap up, what you've read recently that you really liked?
I've been enjoying The Children by Melissa Alpert, The Fountain by Casey Scieszka, and a Robert Caro-led 'dad history' deep dive—LJB and The Power Broker—along with a few other big historical works.
Jessica M. Goldstein - RETRO
Q: I'm good, and I'm so glad you're here because I loved Retro and I can't wait to chat about it with you.
Thank you! I've been thinking about the book a lot, especially the way it blends office satire with time travel and deeper questions about desire, power, and consequences.
Jessica M. Goldstein - RETRO
Q: Welcome, Jessica. How are you today?
I'm doing well, thanks for having me. I'm excited to talk about Retro and dive into its ideas and inspirations.
Portia Elan - HOMEBOUND
Q: Could you summarize Homebound in a way that captures its multi-timeline, multi-POV approach without giving too much away?
Homebound follows a young woman in the 1980s who inherits a game that echoes across 600 years, weaving together multiple timelines and perspectives to explore community, identity, and what it means to belong, all while staying rooted in intimate character experiences.
Portia Elan - HOMEBOUND
Q: Welcome, Portia. How are you today?
I'm doing well and excited to chat about Homebound, especially its ambitious structure and the journey to publication.
