Sherlockiana and Mutual Aid: This Week on the Lit Hub Podcast
Featuring Jonny Diamond and Olivia Rutigliano
A weekly behind-the-scenes dive into everything interesting, dynamic, strange, and wonderful happening in literary culture—featuring Lit Hub staff, columnists, and special guests! Hosted by Drew Broussard.
The first week of the Trump administration has felt somehow even more awful than we expected it to feel. Everybody’s a little on edge. So, we kick things off with Jonny Diamond extolling the excellent pieces from Kim Kelly and Madeline ffitch that ran on the site on Tuesday, sharing excerpts and explaining how they encapsulate Lit Hub’s approach to the Trump administration.
Then, because our revolution must include the joyful things as well, we introduce a new recurring segment: “Culture Schlock” with Olivia Rutigliano. This installment, we’re headed to Sherlock Holmes week!
The Lit Hub Podcast is a production of Lit Hub Radio and is available wherever you get your podcasts; music by Dani Lencioni of Evelyn; Engineering and production by Stardust House
