It's a slice, it's a pie—it's Library Pizza! This week my guest is prolific reader and critic @tobiascarroll.bsky.social, who casually names more books and writers in this episode than the last five or six episodes combined. Pod it anywhere that pods are pods; links at librarypizza.com.
I am deeply sickos face about how relevant to my interests some of these things are.
This week's Library Pizza features a conversation with @liberalcurrents.com founder and editor-in-chief @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com, who shed some light on comparitive politics generally, immigration policy in the U.S. and abroad, cultivation novels from Royal Road, webtoons, and more.
This week's Library Pizza is a conversation with AWP correspondent and beloved partner (but we kept it very professional for the episode's duration, use of the word "fuckfest" notwithstanding) Tracy Rae Bowling. Listen anywhere that pods are pods. Links at librarypizza.com.
This week's Library Pizza features the brilliant @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com, associate editor at @liberalcurrents.com and one of the writers whose work you need to follow if you want to understand our moment generally and in US politics specifically. Listen on any of the major platforms.
This week's Library Pizza features a short audio essay about the death of the Washington Post's Book World, followed by a reading of a relevant excerpt from Organ Pamuk's THE NEW LIFE. Listen anywhere, including here:
The world was too chaotic yesterday for us to remember to tell you that there is a new Library Pizza, wherein Mike and Tracy talked through their ongoing Twin Peaks marathon and what they've been reading. Also, they invent the Boyby-Sitters Club. Listen anywhere that pods are pod!
This week's library guest is @aelkus.bsky.social, who took Mike for a wild ride through the history and potential futures of weird fiction and horror, a discussion inspired by @qntm.org's THERE IS NO ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION, detective fiction, anime, and more. Listen to this pod anywhere that pods.
The library hasn't been in the mood to promote anything this week, but we did upload a new episode wherein Mike and Tracy discuss readerly new year's resolutions, plus the pipelines that attempted to recruit them both to the side of right-wing politics as children living in Indiana.
This week's Library Pizza is a holiday special featuring reflections on Mike's time in Korea. It begins with an essay on the experience, and then there is a reading of the manual that Mike wrote for future participants in the residency that hosted him. We'll meet you at the libraryria in 2026.
Read more novels, spend less time with algorithms, and (of course) listen to @librarypizza.bsky.social. I think we have an opportunity to make some decisions about how we want to live going forward.
Have you ever wanted to hear for yourself just how bad I am at taking a compliment? This is your chance!
(Honestly when I did the edit I cut the silence before I responded in half; the amount of time it took me in real life was simply too brutal for a humane podcast.)
This week @buzzpoole.bsky.social, cofounder of @sandorfpassage.bsky.social and the person most responsible for Mike's first book being published in a defensible state, visited the library for a discussion of publishing literature in translation and more. Listen anywhere that pods are known to pod.
Hey friends, it's my latest episode! In addition to the usual book talk, this one has a discussion of visual novels: what makes them fascinating, frustrating, hypnotic, disappointing, etc. Listen in any of the usual places.
Unfortunately my guest for this week fell through, so this episode is going up a little bit late, and I did something a bit different for it: I read three excerprts from pieces by two writers. Sorry it's not the usual thing! But if you do like it, let me know; it's a convenient format to have.
This was a ton of fun and I’m trusting Mike that it’s at least like 40% coherent on my end. Editors do magic, you know. Give it a listen!
Hi again, it's me: a social media account that exists solely to promote a podcast. The latest episode of Library Pizza features a discussion with Ed, a Normal Man from Bluesky, who shares thoughts on several eras of science fiction, the necessity of knowing (therefore killing) forests, and more.
My shapes guy is listening to the podcast and pointed out that his PhD is in abstract polytopes, not complex polytopes. I am very sorry for the mix-up
I'm always nervous to do podcasts. I feel like I have a bit of foot-in-mouth disease. That said, Mike is a wonderful writer and it was an honor to be invited on Library Pizza. I talk about fanfic and Jayvik and hopefully don't sound too silly. Just the right amount of silly. :) Take a listen below:
It's Thursday morning in several locations, and that means it's Library Pizza. This week @rajandelman.bsky.social joins Mike and Tracy for a discussion of #fanfiction, especially as it relates to #Arcane. As the bluesky embodiment of a podcast, I am not above using #hashtags.
I had a blast talking books with @mikemeginnis.bsky.social in my rare non-housing-policy podcast appearance!
In this week's episode of me, Library Pizza, a podcast about reading, Mike talks to @resnikoff.bsky.social about nibbling board books, the necessity of being around people, the three kinds of hat a man can wear in the US, and much more. Thanks Ned! I, the embodiment of a podcast, had fun.
The day has come: this week's Library Pizza features all three co-hosts of @tunneltalkpod.bsky.social, my favorite wrestling podcast, jockeying for power with Mike and each other. Many books are discussed, as well as dying of gender and learning how to cry. It's in all the usual places.
The Internet in the Meginnis household has been repaired, the dust has settled a bit, and so there is now time to post belatedly account about the second episode of *me*, Library Pizza, a podcast about reading. It's everywhere you love to pod, including YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eg4...
Library Pizza is a podcast about reading. The first episode officially launches tomorrow, but cool people in the know have been saying you can listen to it now: open.spotify.com/show/0lAu5za...
Hello world.
