READ TO ME with Becky Karush

READ TO ME is the podcast to listen for what we love. Each week, we read something wonderful, and then talk about the power and beauty in the work (which helps us surface it in our own). In this episode, we head up to the farm for E.B. White’s DEATH OF A PIG to learn that a piece can be quiet. It can be reserved. It can appear diffident, even, and yet roil with passion and grief (and masterful sentences), and the vile delight of Fred, the dog. 

READ TO ME is the podcast to listen for what we love. Each week, we read something wonderful, and then talk about the power and beauty in the work (which helps us surface it in our own). In this episode, we come to FIGURING, Maria Popova’s unclassifiable collection of biographies, exploration of love, search for truth. In the prelude alone, she shoots the moon and hits the Andromeda galaxy.

Each week on READ TO ME, we read something wonderful and talk about what we loved. In this episode, we drop into the first few pages of THE DARK IS RISING, the second in Susan Cooper’s five-book fantasy sequence. We talk about the glory of beginnings, the relief of falling in love with characters (and how it happens), and one great thudding sentence.
