Show overview

Three Percent Podcast has been publishing since 2012, and across the 14 years since has built a catalogue of 436 episodes. That works out to roughly 420 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 49 min and 1h 5m — 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 2 weeks ago, with 4 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2019, with 70 episodes published. Published by Open Letter Books.

From the publisher

The Three Percent Podcast is a weekly(ish) conversation about new books, the publishing scene, international literature in translation, and many other random rants and raves. Chad W. Post of Open Letter Books and Tom Roberge of New Directions and Albertine Bookstore keep things irreverent, informed, and funny in a podcast that'll keep you up to date on the international literary and publishing worlds. Maybe. (Presented by Three Percent @ the University of Rochester.) threepercentproblem.substack.com
