Show overview
Reading Short and Deep has been publishing since 2016, and across the 10 years since has built a catalogue of 533 episodes. That works out to roughly 240 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 30 min and 34 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-CA-language Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 days ago, with 19 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Jesse Willis.
From the publisher
Share the joys-and sharpen the skills-of deep reading. In each weekly half-hour podcast, Eric Rabkin and Jesse Willis mine together the riches of another marvelous short story, poem, or video. Each work, freely available on the RSD website, can be read in half an hour or less, and discussed for hours.
