Stay ConnectedShortlist is a conversation show hosted by Patrick Newhart.
Each episode, Patrick sits down with writers, actors, artists, and other guests to talk about books, their work, and whatever else comes up.
Before they meet, the guest sends Patrick a shortlist of books and other recommendations. He chooses one book to read, and they start there.
New episodes every other Tuesday. Also on YouTube.
Edward Schmit wanted to write about what happens after coming out. For the first episode of Shortlist, Patrick sits down with Eddie, author of the queer tennis romance The Open Era, to talk about discovering tennis as an adult, perfectionism, and learning to be bad at something. They also get into writing a “being out” story, avoiding Goodreads reviews, and competitive Mario Kart.
