We’re a little more than halfway through the inaugural season of our new hit podcast Zero to Well-Read, and if you haven’t checked out yet, we think you’ll dig it.

Part book club, part English class, Zero to Well-Read aims to be a fun, informative, and irreverent guide to the books everyone talks about, from classics you should have read in high school to modern hits everyone’s buzzing about.

• Where to start: Listen to our season opener about The Great Gatsby for some background on our ideas and intentions for the project in general.
• Check in with a classic: We’ve had great conversations about Their Eyes Were Watching God, The Bluest Eye, and Hamlet.
• Prefer a modern classic? Never Let Me Go is the one for you.
• Get your pop culture fix: We believe that part of being well-read is being familiar with the books that shape the zeitgeist. Join us as we revisit Twilight on its 20th anniversary, or get the background on the 1990s novel that inspired One Battle After Another.

Follow Zero to Well-Read wherever you get your podcasts, and if you like the show, please share it with a bookish friend!
