Welcome to the Book Stuff Podcast!

Book Stuff explores how literature helps us live our lives and navigate our world. For writers and readers, and those who are reading curious, we dive into it all. From forgotten fiction to buzzy sci-fi, poetry readings to libraries, publishers, clubs, Substacks to journalism – all texts and literary worlds are considered.

In a so-called post-literate world, we celebrate, advocate for, and talk about the still-existing power — and fun — of the written word in literature and beyond.

The written word still can power and sustains the conversation.

Hosted and produced by award-winning search professional, dynamic creative writer, radio producer, college teacher, and book nerd, Tucker Legerski.

Book Stuff is made in partnership with The Chicago Review of Books.
