Hello.

I’m Brad Listi, author and host of the otherppl podcast. My most recent book is the novel Be Brief and Tell Them Everything.

My podcast, launched in 2011, features in-depth conversations with today’s leading writers and thinkers. Hundreds of episodes are available wherever you get your shows.

Here, on a weekly basis, I’ll be sharing my newsletter, with updates on the latest otherppl interviews, along with links to things that I find useful and interesting.

Every Wednesday, subscribers will receive news and insights into life, literature, art, culture, and the creative process.

This is a reader-supported publication. All subscribers—both free and paid—get the same newsletter every week. But paid subscribers also get:

Access to the archive of back issues

New issues are free for all, but the web versions are paywalled after a couple months. And there’s a lot of good stuff in the archive!

My sincere gratitude for your support

Your subscription dollars help fund this newsletter—and keep new issues free for everyone—and they also give me the financial ability to keep making my podcast, and to work on my next book. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who supports the work that I do.

You can also support my work by ordering my latest novel, Be Brief and Tell Them Everything, or sharing the newsletter with a friend!
