On the first episode ever, JL chats with Courtenay Schembri Gray about the often-ignored issues within the online lit community. Why are we so quick to cancel people? When is it okay to call out a problematic writer? And why are we all so competitive?

Courtenay also reads her poem “June Bug” - www.idleink.org/2022/03/05/june-bug-by-courtenay-s-gray/
