Shhhhh
Why is everyone talking In the background while a reading is happening? It's very distracting. I was on my bike while listening. I must have missed this was happening in a book store.

Love this one!
LITerally Podcast is a great listen -- interesting and insightful without taking itself too seriously (i.e. I laugh a lot as I listen). Perfect for avid readers or writers, this podcast hasn't disappointed me yet.

This aptly named podcasts appeals to the creator in us all. Insightful and with just enough humor to counter the stuffiness of serious smarts, Kase allows listeners an insight into work-a-day writers, poets and more.

One of the more insightful podcasts I know
Defintely worth listening to if you have ever dreamed about writing "that" novel, or even just poetry or short prose. These podcasts talk about the nuts and bolts of writing, why you do the things you do and what to do next. Full of good information from real people who are passionate about their craft, but also don't take themselves too seriously. All are used to and can handle rejection, and being so open about their experiences makes you feel like you are sitting in a room with a friend. I highly recommend.

Writers take note!
Kase is such a great interviewer, his questions so big-hearted, and his style so natural it clearly brings out the best in his guests. What a great resource for budding writers, as well as established authors who enjoy the conversation of what a writing life means, which, with Kase, is always enlightening and a joy.

Literally Varietally
Nice variety of voices and visions in this podcast, some delightful surprises and some shocking ones too. Kase has a knack for helping writers relax into the conversation, his questions getting more enticing as the interview goes on, blending humor and laughter with discussions of craft and of how writers apply their work to life's most difficult intersections. I love the varied perspectives, the ease of riding along with Kase and Crew. Good stuff.

wonderful podcast for writers and readers
These insightful author interviews with working writers give a great insight into the process and business of creating poetry and fiction. Kase asks great questions, and his easy-going style keeps things fun and relaxed. Goes great with a dirty martini.

Yummy.
Tastes like beef enchiladas with a Tequilla chaser, for your ears. Filling with a bit of a kick. An insightful look into the writing process, the struggles of publishing, and author choices. One thing I learned from listening to multiple episodes is the only common theme between successful authors is that they're all willing to put in the work and deal with rejection. How they develop stories, shape poems, and make decisions throughout the writing process are all different. Interesting stuff. Love the insight! Keep up the great work, guys!

- LITerally Ep. 54 - Larry Feign, The Flower Boat GirlIt was really, really awesome to talk to Larry Feign about his new novel that took years to research and to write. It’s an absolutely beautiful book, inside and out. I learned more than I ever expected. That’s amazing historical fiction.0 comments0

- Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 5 - Remote ControlThis month we discuss NNedi Okorafor's Remote Control, described on her website as, "science fiction of the Africanfuturist strain that knows aliens exist, quietly shows how technology is influenced by culture, features a powerful yet deeply-pained female protagonist, and wonders about the role of corporations in rural Africa." So grab a bourbon and sip along with us. This selection was loved by the hosts. Tune in to find out why. Cheers!0 comments0
- LITerally Podcast Jul 20 · 58m Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 4 - Rendezvous with Rama"If you like plots & boobies, not the book for you." - Sean Davis Kase's pick, Rendezvous with Rama, is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke. Set in the 2130s, astronauts explore a cylindrical alien starship. How does this 1973 classic hold up?0 comments0
- Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 3 - JawsFull of welcoming metaphors and more depth than anticipated, JAWS, the book, surprised us in a few ways. As Leigh noted, "Even when it's problematic...it's still trying to do stuff." Other notes, Kase finally imbibed, we endured symphony practice, and a tree fell on Seans internet (true story). Otherwise, smooth livestream and podcast. Enjoy!0 comments0
- LITerally Ep. 51 - Utah Poet Laureate Paisley Rekdal, APPROPRIATESometimes, it's just best to sit back, listen, and learn. Going into my interview with Paisley Rekdal, that was my plan, and I'm happy I stuck (mostly) to it because there's no reason to mess up a good hour of great, researched insight with my fumbling. So fortunate to have Utah's Poet Laureate and author of APPROPRIATE (and many, many other books of poetry and nonfiction) on LITerally. - Kase0 comments0

We take a candid look at The Sun Also Rises. LITerally Host Kase Johnstun is joined by Sean Davis and Tia Brown to discuss The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway and his place in history. 5 word review What we’re drinking?

- LITerally Ep. 48 - Michael KasdanThink of this interview with Michael Kasdan, sports and special projects editor at The Good Men Project, like a time capsule from pre-election, pre-vaccine interview. We jump into politics and sports and why athletes should stop being told to “stay in their lane.”0 comments0
- LITerally Ep. 47 - Conquer Your Fear of the Triathlon SwimAuthors M. Ellen Dash and Ali Meeks talked with the LITerally Podcast about their new book Conquer Your Fear of the Triathlon Swim. As a swimmer and triathlete, I had a great time reading the step-by-step guide to overcoming anxiety in the water. This is a great book (and podcast, of course) for anyone hoping to turn their fear of open-water swimming into confidence in the water.0 comments0
- LITerally Ep. 46 - Adrienne Christian, A Proper LoverAdrienne Christian shared poetry from her new book with us on the LITerally Podcast. We laughed a lot that afternoon. She is welcome back anytime to talk about the writing, life, and the crazy world we live. But her new book of poetry! I insist!0 comments0
