a complete and total delight
I heard about this show on a literary blog I read and thought it sounded interesting. I downloaded the Dennis Cooper episode and gave it a listen. Confronted with Mr. Listi's opening monologue I was a bit surprised, "Who is this guy? What is he talking about?" But after a minute or two of Brad's rambling thoughts I realized that I liked him, like when you meet a friend of a friend at a party and maybe yr guarded at first but after a bit of conversation you find yrself thinking, "yeah I could hang out with this guy." Which is sort of important to one's enjoyment of any hour-long podcast. Once the interview started I was completely hooked. This is EXACTLY the type of thing I want to be hearing all the time. Long conversations with creative people that are not part of a press-junket where the person being interviewed has already answered the same questions thirty times that day. Just sincere, interesting dialogue with no quirkiness or pretense. Brad talks like a normal guy, he's not a silly character trying to get his jokes in or impress anybody and I appreciate that so much. I've only been listening to it for a few weeks now but it is already a favorite podcast of mine. If you are interested in books or writers or writing I could not recommend it more.Read full review »

Other People is the best literary interview shows out there -- both online and on the radio. Brad goes beyond the authors' books and gets into their lives and writing practices. Always respectful, he disarms his guest for candid interviews about childhoods, quirky behavior, and past lives...Read full review »
