Almost Live at Mellow Pages

This episode was something Eric and I have wanted to do since we had the idea for the show. At this point, everyone in New York City know about the Franklin Park Reading Series and we wanted to spend some time with the mother of the series, and let everyone get to know Penina Roth. Penina is lovely and kind and engaging and she loves what she does [and she does A LOT]. This episode was recorded on Mother’s Day, and we hope you enjoy it. –Sean

This episode, we sat down with Natalie Eilbert and Dolan Morgan from The Atlas Review. We covered a lot in the conversation—the origins and future of their magazine, blind submissions, the kind of work they’re looking for, Dolan’s hair, Natalie’s forthcoming work, and Dolan indulged us and took the first shot at a new part of the show Eric really wanted to see happen—and we really hope you have as much fun listening to it as we obviously had participating in it.

For our podcast debut, we sat down with the proprietors of Mellow Pages Library themselves, Jacob Perkins and Matt Nelson (no relation to the co-host.) We asked the writers/librarians from the Left Coast about the ideas of community, evolving and balancing work.
