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.

It’s a scary time to be speaking up for what we believe in, but these are the times when we must simply speak even louder in support of the good and just and right. Sometimes, that means calling it like it is when a hatemonger dies and standing firm in the face of ensuing vitriol and cowardice, like Gretchen Felker-Martin has done in the wake of being fired from DC (and having her whole comic line scrapped) for posting about another dead bigot—and sometimes, that’s about raising up stories that forefront safety, consent, women’s pleasure, and good design, like the novellas from 831 Stories. Sometimes, it’s as simple as putting your money where your mouth is, like Chill Subs has done with the announcement of their first Lit Mag Incubator grantees!

But no matter what: community. Community, community, community.
