Welcome to The Diverse Bookshelf. I’m Samia Aziz, celebrating the power of literature and the voices of authors and change makers from the global majority. Join me as we explore the stories that inspire, connect, and transform our world. Each week I interview an inspiring guest about a whole host of themes and issues while focusing on diverse literature. 

Let’s uncover the stories that truly matter—together.

Welcome to The Lusty Library — the hilarious romance novel podcast where Joey, Birdie, and Lexx, aka The Dirty Dames, spiral into chaos one smutty chapter at a time. Each episode, the trio dives headfirst into a romance novel they’ve never read before — from steamy contemporary romance and dark romance to romantasy, chaotic beach reads, and the filthiest BookTok recommendations the internet has to offer. You know, the kind of smut you wouldn’t dare open in public.

Forget sweet Hallmark love stories. Expect morally gray book boyfriends, enemies-to-lovers obsession, shadow daddies, feral plot twists, and unholy amounts of tension. One minute they’re analyzing literary themes; the next, they’re screaming about dragon anatomy, toxic billionaires, the logistics of extra appendages, questionable life choices, and sex scenes spicy enough to fog up a windshield at highway speed. No romance trope or subgenre is off limits, and absolutely nobody stays on topic for long.

If you love spicy romance books, chaotic book banter, hilarious reactions, and hearing people completely lose their minds over fictional men, grab a drink and step into The Lusty Library.

This is Awakeners, a Lit Hub Radio podcast about mentorship in the literary arts. 

Robert Frost allegedly said he was not a teacher but an “awakener.” On every episode of this podcast, host Lena Crown speaks with writers, artists, critics, and scholars across generations who have awakened something for one another. We chat about how their relationship has evolved, examine the connections and divergences in their writing and thinking, and dig into the archives for traces of their mutual influence.
