NOTE: Season Three with all new podcasts!

Close your eyes and let your imagination soar while you listen at home to New Yorker stories in two formats:

(1) In The Writer’s Voice, a noted author will read you their recently published New Yorker story. You will feel the exact emphasis, phrasing and timing that the writer has intended, deepening the meaning of the work.

(2) In The New Yorker Fiction Podcast, a well-known author reads a New Yorker story by another writer that has moved and inspired them. As part of this podcast, the reader and Deborah Treisman (New Yorker fiction editor) discuss this story. These will be totally different podcasts.

Format: Each week you will experience at home and then discuss in class, two selected New Yorker podcasts, one of each format. A link to a text version of the stories will also be available to read and print if desired. Class participants will be expected to choose a story, formulate and email discussion questions to all members, do a short intro and lead the class in discussion.

Resources/Expenses: The coordinator will provide links to all the podcasts and the text versions. If you are not a New Yorker subscriber, there is an introductory rate of $6 for three months unlimited digital access.
