GOALS
Very amused to see our podcast described as 'borderline unlistenable'. I promise we'll try harder in future. Personally, I won't rest until it's unequivocally unlistenable.

We love to hear it!
In other news I listened to the @onebrightbook.bsky.social episode on this today and it was SO GOOD. It's exactly the kind of book that you read and then at the end you're like, wait, what, I need to talk about it or hear other people talking about it, and the conversation on the ep was perfect.

I loved this plucky, exploratory, enlightening conversation, & Frances provides an excellent intro! I adore Carrington & savored the experience of reading this book, but it’s not for everyone. This discussion is for everyone, however, & you’ll be entertained. Thanks for the #NYRBWomen25 shoutout! 💛
Episode 39 is live, and it might be one of our best!
We discuss Leonora Carrington's singular THE STONE DOOR--and never has our love for each other been more tested!

Rude gestures????
THE STONE DOOR episode comes out tomorrow on One Bright Book! This is an unusual episode for us — strange alliances, strong feelings, disagreements, rude gestures. You’ll want to listen. @onebrightbook.bsky.social @nonsuchbook.bsky.social @ds228.bsky.social
Just another day or so until our latest episode drops... Hang in there! You got this!

Nora makes a great point! Sure, the book of the month is at the heart of the podcast, but our "what we're reading" section is important too! This episode features titles published by @graywolfpress.bsky.social @semiotexte.bsky.social @deepvellum.bsky.social among others!
