LITerally Podcast EP. 52 - David Gessner: Quiet Desperation, Savage Delight: Sheltering with Thoreau in the Age of Crises David Gessner joined us to talk all things Henry David Thoreau, thoroughly, while talking about the craft of writing nonfiction and writing a book during the pandemic. Such a great conversation!

LITerally Podcast Ep. 52 - David Gessner: Quiet Desperation, Savage Delight

This month we discuss NNedi Okorafor's Remote Control, described on her website as, "science fiction of the Africanfuturist strain that knows aliens exist, quietly shows how technology is influenced by culture, features a powerful yet deeply-pained female protagonist, and wonders about the role of corporations in rural Africa."  So grab a bourbon and sip along with us. This selection was loved by the hosts. Tune in to find out why.  Cheers!

Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 5 - Remote Control

"If you like plots & boobies, not the book for you." - Sean Davis Kase's pick, Rendezvous with Rama, is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke. Set in the 2130s, astronauts explore a cylindrical alien starship. How does this 1973 classic hold up?

Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 4 - Rendezvous with Rama

Full of welcoming metaphors and more depth than anticipated, JAWS, the book, surprised us in a few ways. As Leigh noted, "Even when it's problematic...it's still trying to do stuff."  Other notes, Kase finally imbibed, we endured symphony practice, and a tree fell on Seans internet (true story). Otherwise, smooth livestream and podcast. Enjoy!

Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 3 - Jaws

Sometimes, it's just best to sit back, listen, and learn. Going into my interview with Paisley Rekdal, that was my plan, and I'm happy I stuck (mostly) to it because there's no reason to mess up a good hour of great, researched insight with my fumbling. So fortunate to have Utah's Poet Laureate and author of APPROPRIATE (and many, many other books of poetry and nonfiction) on LITerally. - Kase

Bourbon, Beer & Books - The Sun Also Rises, gender fluidity, impotence, bull fighting, and whiskey Where does that type of trophy-hunting/prove-your-masculinity fit in today's literary scene?

LITerally Host Kase Johnstun is joined by Sean Davis and Tia Brown to discuss The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway and his place in history. 5 word review What we’re drinking?

From across the globe and from 12 hours in the future, Bradford Philan joined us on the LITerally Podcast. Let's just say that I enjoyed the 'heck' out his book When the Color Started. Grab it.

LITerally podcast host Kase Johnstun along with co-hosts Leigh Camacho Rourks, Sean Davis, and Tia Brown discuss the phenomenon that was Twilight.

Bourbon, Beer & Books - What the Twilight?

Today we spoke with Valerie Miner, author of numerous fiction, nonfiction, and poetry collections. Once, a decade ago, Miner was kind but instructive with my fledging writing and writing career, and I feel privileged to talk with her about her writing today.

Think of this interview with Michael Kasdan, sports and special projects editor at The Good Men Project, like a time capsule from pre-election, pre-vaccine interview. We jump into politics and sports and why athletes should stop being told to “stay in their lane.”

LITerally Ep. 48 - Michael Kasdan

Authors M. Ellen Dash and Ali Meeks talked with the LITerally Podcast about their new book Conquer Your Fear of the Triathlon Swim. As a swimmer and triathlete, I had a great time reading the step-by-step guide to overcoming anxiety in the water. This is a great book (and podcast, of course) for anyone hoping to turn their fear of open-water swimming into confidence in the water.

LITerally Ep. 47 - Conquer Your Fear of the Triathlon Swim

Adrienne Christian shared poetry from her new book with us on the LITerally Podcast. We laughed a lot that afternoon. She is welcome back anytime to talk about the writing, life, and the crazy world we live. But her new book of poetry! I insist!

LITerally Ep. 46 - Adrienne Christian, A Proper Lover

Sian Griffiths, writer and sometimes co-host of the LITerally Podcast, joined us in the time of Covid, only a few miles from her house, via Zoom to talk about her new novel, Scrapple. As with everything in this day and age, we cannot avoid talking about life, the world, and our place in the world in it as writers! Thanks, Sian!

LITerally Ep. 45 - Sian Griffiths "Scrapple"

It's been a long time coming, but has time really passed over the last few months? Has it really? Here is our fun Literary Death Match Podcast from last year's event. Hosted by Adrian Todd Zuniga, five other writers joined us that day, including Laura Stott, Jan Bottiglieri, Jake Alvey, David Lindes, and Kara Van De Graff. It was a serious riot. And Literary Death Match will be returning this year virtually in the fall, so keep an eye out for that announcement!

LITerally Ep. 44 - Literary Death Match

We ask real questions about writing, publishing, and about living the life of a writer. We avoid typical literary BS and tell people the stuff they want to know. #LITerallyPodcast
