Show overview

The Literary Life Podcast has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 346 episodes. That works out to roughly 500 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 8th season.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 18m and 1h 36m — 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-language Arts show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 38 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Angelina Stanford.

From the publisher

Not just book chat! The Literary Life Podcast is an ongoing conversation about the skill and art of reading well and the lost intellectual tradition needed to fully enter into the great works of literature. Experienced teachers Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks (of www.HouseOfHumaneLetters.com) join lifelong reader Cindy Rollins (of www.MorningtimeForMoms.com) for slow reads of classic literature, conversations with book lovers, and an ever-unfolding discussion of how Stories Will Save the World. And check out our sister podcast The Well Read Poem with poet Thomas Banks.
