This podcast—developed in the middle of Covid-19—offers a diversion from the distancing routine. We seek to disseminate thought-provoking conversations about literary topics. With conferences canceled and library books without due dates, LMU English MA candidates bring the studio home. Collaboration with graduating Recording Arts students offered a virtual forum for the research questions that drive our literary scholarship. Remote realities have isolating tendencies, and we hope telling stories with sound brings distant listeners closer together.
