5 podcast episodes according to a theme, curated by a different person each weekSeptember 14 - 18, 2020

  CURATOR: Dan Kubis 

 WHY THIS THEME?: I think reading, particularly fiction, is an important but sometimes underappreciated part of civic life and these are 5 podcasts that get me excited about reading.

A Phone Call from Paul

Live at Politics and ProseLisa Halliday50 minutes

 GET IN TOUCH: Twitter 

 SELF PROMO: I recently discovered this footage of Kate Bush performing "Wuthering Heights" on Irish television in 1978 and I think it's one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. 

CROWD SOURCING QUESTION: 

An explanation for why we read fiction that I like is that it helps us order our minds. Is this a good explanation for why you read? Why or why not? What explanations do you like?

  HASHTAG FOR DISCUSSION: #ReadingPodcasts
