New Podcast Episodes

I was recently a guest on the L.U.B. Club podcast (LUB stands for Lamp Under a Bowl) and enjoyed that conversation:

I was also thrilled to be able to interview author Lauren Elkin about her new book Scaffolding, for the Concavity Show.

A Few Recent Updates

1. I did win the recent Wells Branch Library Board election. I’ll be sworn in for my next two-year term in January 2024.
2. I was recently on the Eminent Americans podcast discussing DFW with my friend Daniel Oppenheimer. Be sure to follow his podcast and Substack!
3. Hannah Smart reviewed The Belan Deck over at the Sunlight Press.
4. Rick Harsch also had this very entertaining video review of The Belan Deck on his YouTube channel.

New Episodes

So far in 2023 I have stuck to my resolution of publishing a new episode of my Monthly Audio Newsletter on the first day of each month:

February: Vladimir Nabokov

March: Randall Jarrell

April: Gertrude Stein

I’ve decided that my Monthly Audio Newsletter, Mostly About Nothing will, for now, not feature my voice but only feature dead writers. Only dead writers will be featured.

Great Concavity Podcast

I have yet to mention it here, but back in October of 2015, Dave Laird and I created a podcast centered around discussions of David Foster Wallace and his work. It’s called The Great Concavity and you can see our website here: http://greatconcavity.podbean.com/

You can also find us on iTunes with this link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-great-concavity/id1048764063?mt=2

We’ve posted six episodes so far and have a lot more in store for 2016. If you have a question about Wallace you’d like for us to answer, you can tweet at us @ConcavityShow.
