In the first episode, Radical Books Collective co-founders, Bhakti Shringarpure and Suchitra Vijayan start with a debrief of the 2022 PEN America report on publishing titled “Reading Between the Lines: Race, Equity and Book Publishing” which was created with the goal to expose and explore the fact that the publishing industry has “entered a moment of moral urgency about the persistent lack of racial and ethnic diversity among employees and authors.” The next two episodes dive into the heart of the problems as experts from the US (Elizabeth Méndez Berry and Porsche Burke) and the UK (Margaret Busby and Ellah P. Wakatama) engage in wide-ranging conversations about book acquisitions, editorial processes, taste and culture-making, equity, and structural racism as it impacts the publishing industry and the book market.

This week we have two researchers to talk about web archiving, its politics, its goals, and how web archiving is often mobilized to address problems it really can’t help. We’re talking Tumblr and GeoCities, Twitter’s feared implosion, Internet Archive, and the space to mourn our platforms and communities.

feat @jessogden (and Katie Mackinnon seems not to be on the Fediverse 😅)

This week we’re talking about everyone’s favorite “grassroots” organization, Moms for Liberty. Justin is breaking out the cork board to show you where it’s all coming from. We also share our controversial takes on the Wikipedia redesign.

Listen to it if you're remotely interested in #BookBanning campaigns in the U.S.
I've stopped following it as thoroughly as I used to because there is just too much of it, and it's above my pay grade.

New Year New works in the Public Domain! This week we have Nancy Sims @copyrightlibn to talk about what’s entering the Public Domain in 2023. Of course we had to touch on AI authorship and copyright, Naruto the monkey, and a possible solution for regular weeding discourses.

"It's our first proper movie episode! Of Todd Haynes' 1998 film "Velvet Goldmine", a wonderfully queer movie about 1970s glam rock, queerness, identity, relationships and music. As such, that's what we talk about! Diving deep into these connections, the power and potential of queerness, along with the need of its resistance against all who would coopt it."

I've known The Left Page since their episode on The Witcher,,, and I can't justify why I have never shared any of their podcasts 😅

However, since they're making a crossover with @wilde_at_heart who co-hosts LibraryPunk, I have a reason to do it now! 🥳

I also make most of the occasion to also tell you that another LibraryPunk co-host @smazzie, is also on the Fediverse 😊

(Sorry, I'm super late. I don't think I even shared the previous episode about Borges' 'Library of Babel' 😬)

Episode 10 of the Radical Publishing Futures series features Meg Arenberg in conversation with Ra Page of Comma Press, based in Manchester, UK. They discuss Comma Press's exclusive focus on short story anthologies, what this kind of specialization allows the press to do, and the particular affordances of short fiction as a literary form, which Ra argues is a route to a more democratic literary space. Along the way, Ra talks about working with translators from around the world, finding work that is stylistically and formally different from what the mainstream of the industry tells us we should be looking for, as well as hosting prizes and writing courses focused on the genre for new and aspiring writers. Ra also offers his insights on how small publishers and publishing alliances can work together to combat the insider network of gatekeepers that characterizes the corporate and highly centralized literary marketplace in England.

We’ve got Sarah Lamdan on to talk about her new book Data Cartels: The Companies That Control and Monopolize Our Information!

We talk about government contracting to third party data companies, legal loopholes, the connection to academic publishing and metrics, and the stranglehold the corporate duopoly has over access to US law by lawyers, citizens, and prisoners.

Justin also advances his theory that academic journals are just podcasts.

#RadLitNews means

#LiteRadiCast is a portmanteau with

#RadingList (no, I did not misspell) mixes
