“Of course, we have impulse towards kindness…But it does also appear that we have a spin cycle of brutality and barbarism and disregard for our own future and for our own fellow human being. That is our superpower.” @maxjohnporter joins #ReadThis.

Very proud of my colleagues at @7ampodcast this week, after the brilliant week of episodes on tomorrow’s referendum. Particular shout outs to @MrDTJames and @s_mitchell for their impressive and tireless work. If you don’t know, just listen.

Apparently, according to a random notification on my phone, it’s International Podcast Day. Have you considered #ReadThis? Books, writers, chat: it’s a sensation!
New eps each Thurs, with ep13 (George Saunders) out tomorrow. Do listen: we’re proud of it.

These films really did a number on me. Seven-year-old Nick was the one who didn’t want to answer the question about if he had a girlfriend.
Nicholas Hitchon aged in seven-year increments for more than a half-century in the acclaimed British documentary series “Up.” He has died at 65. nyti.ms/3YUifdj
Krasno-stans unite! Listen to the incomparable @Sarah_Kras talk Peter Carey on the latest #ReadThis wherever you get your podcasts.
No one knows books and writers like @mmccwill. What a joy to chat with him about my new essay for @BlackIncBooks’ Writers on Writers series, On Peter Carey. open.spotify.com/episode/2u0…
I’ve been slowly easing myself off this app, but in the meantime #ReadThis has continued to be excellent fun. Recent episodes have included Christos Tsiolkas, Leigh Sales and Daniel Lavery. Subscribe and listen!

If you’re not already subscribed and listening to #ReadThis every week, it’s time to start. There have been five episodes so far, and the fifth is with @colsonwhitehead. He’s very good!

It’s the weekend. If listening to a first-rate writer share stories of his grandmother that reveal much about him and his work is your bag, this is an excellent use of half an hour.

It’s true! New #ReadThis in your feed: this time with added Tony Birch! Have a listen. Its a good one!
It's Thursday, which means we have a new episode of #ReadThis. This was the first one we ever made and why we decided to keep going. Tony Birch talks to @mmccwill about the influence of his secretive but fiercely loving nan on his life and work. open.spotify.com/episode/0Cr…
#ReadThis episode two should be in your podcast feeds, and is chock full of the very clever Anna Funder being thoughtful and charming and very clever. Listen and subscribe and share and all of the things!

Well #deadloch stuck the landing. Action comedies often sacrifice one for the other & don’t do justice to character or plot, but Deadloch was superb. If there’s any justice @katemccccartney & @katemclennan1 will be invited to TedX: Perth as leaders in their field. More please.
That’s one interpretation. The other possibility is that he designed the emojis to look like his kids.

One of the best things about making a new podcast is getting to do it with @sarah_mcv, @claramsankey and Zoltan Fecso: a dream team and a treat.
Recently @mmccwill & I went to Helen Garner's house. She is funny and generous and a great host and it was a dream come true. We recorded it for our new podcast Read This, which just dropped! Listen + share if you love good things. open.spotify.com/episode/59S…
