Oh, I haven’t updated this in a while. Well!
I had an essay published in a book (that I also designed) called How We Read: Tales, Fury, Sound, Nothing. Mostly it’s a bunch of person essays about the difficulties people have had with reading. My essay absolutely fits that description.
One of the editors of the book, Suzanne Akbari, started up a bookish podcast with me, The Spouter-Inn; or, A Conversation with Great Books. We’ve had a successful first year, talking about lots of great books and inviting on lots of interesting guests. I also took over from Beth, who had to leave It’s Just A Show for family reasons (and that isn’t code for scandal this time!), so now I co-host and produce it. Oh, and Megaphonic started up a Patreon: Please help support us, and then you can listen to some superfan bonus feeds and join us in a members Slack where, whatever we talk about, we always seem to return to Middlemarch.
Speaking of Middlemarch, my music project Theme Squad just put out a short album called The Key to All Mythologies. It’s on all the streaming services, or you can listen to it below. It’s instrumental (again), and moody, and maybe you’ll be into it? Here, listen to it below.
