Super excited for this new direction but I have to say, I never feel you guys have been overdoing hot takes on the topics you explore. I think what helps is it’s a discussion between two people, not just a solo essay. I’ve started to get turned off from video essays on YT (and even some on Substack) because they feel very clickbait-y. Thanks as always for a great round of recs 💞
Highly recommend listening to Ann Patchett + Meg Mason on the Sydney Writers Festival podcast - it's a joyous conversation where Ann admits to thinking about 'Tome Lake' for three years before she started writing it x
