So, we took a little break... ok, a nine month long break. This episode took as long as a typical human baby. But we are back! megaphonic.fm/reader/11
On the newest @DearReaderFM, Michael is captivated by the isolation of pre-modern Newfoundland in Michael Crummey’s The Innocents, while Emily delights in the “tragedy of manners” and the woes of bored rich people fallen on hard times in French Exit. megaphonic.fm/reader/10
Michael is setting down to edit the next episode. It should be out in a few days. But in the meantime, this five star review totally made our day! Much love! 📖 👫
A new @DearReaderFM! Emily examines the disorienting bleakness of José Saramago’s Blindness, while Michael looks at the soul-wracking cruelty of @MeganGColes’s Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club. (Spoiler: Both are recommended.) megaphonic.fm/reader/7
On the new Dear Reader (@DearReaderFM), Michael thinks about community with J.M. Sullivan's Newfoundland Portfolio, while Emily considers the abnormality of the hypernormal in Sayaka Murata’s Convenience Store Woman. Listen at megaphonic.fm/reader/6 or on your podcast app!
New episode! Emily thinks everyone needs to read @LucyKnisley’s Kid Gloves because the mysteries and silence around pregnancy and reproductive health need to change, and Michael uses Kathryn Davis’s The Thin Place to think about the necessity of empathy. megaphonic.fm/reader/4
James Baldwin was right, when he wrote: ‘You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.’ I’ve felt seen, understood and heard in so many books. Reading in many ways has kept me alive.
@erlking @DearReaderFM Just tried to read a book I'm loving. Was interrupted 4 times in one sentence: 1. Banana slices 2. Different sized banana slices 3. Milk 4. Diaper
On the latest Dear Reader (@DearReaderFM), Michael explores the experimentalism of Darcie Wilder’s literally show me a healthy person, while Emily enjoys the nuance of Meg Wolitzer’s The Wife. megaphonic.fm/reader/3
Challenged to post 7 personally significant books over 7 days. How could my first not be Middlemarch? A book about the difficulty but necessity of compassion and fellow-feeling. It formed how I think and feel. I tag @TheStuckDuck to share 7 personally significant books.
Although he is the titular character, I always wanted to know more about Bartleby the Scrivener. I find him weirdly relatable
If you liked our recent discussion of The Penelopiad and Circe, our sister-show @TheSpouter has a great discussion of the Iliad in its inaugural episode.
Hello! Our first episode is out, in which Suzanne and Chris talk about Homer’s Iliad. Even if you haven’t done the reading—or read it a long time ago—we hope you’ll listen in. Enjoy! megaphonic.fm/spouter/1
Who are some characters on the peripheries of great stories that you’d like to see more of? @TheStuckDuck and I talk about it, from Helen of Troy to Spock’s mother, on the most recent Dear Reader, a podcast about books and friendship. megaphonic.fm/reader/2
Emily found Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad to be a missed opportunity, especially compared with @MillerMadeline’s excellent Circe. Michael was delighted by Yukiko Montoya’s The Lonesome Bodybuilder. Also: what books do you bring to the hospital?
My son asked me to read "the top hat mustache book"
In the latest Dear Reader (@DearReaderFM): Emily and Michael talk about The Penelopiad (Margaret Atwood), Circe (Madeline Miller), The Lonesome Bodybuilder (Yukiko Motoya), and what books not to bring to the hospital. megaphonic.fm/reader/2
Our first episode is live! Two old friends and bookworms talk about the most interesting thing they've read in the last month. We talk about @caitlinmoran's How to be Famous and @theunfakempw's Chrono Trigger (@BossFightBooks). megaphonic.fm/reader/1
