#1 Loose Units x My Dad Wrote A Porno

In this glorious, disgusting, revealing episode of Loose Units, get ready for a crossover event with My Dad Wrote a Porno. Jamie Morton from MDWAP sits down with Paul, and they talk in-depth about what it’s like to tell your Dad’s confronting stories. They also play a game called Horny For Justice… and Jamie reads an erotic crime story written by John! You’ll never hear a true crime podcast crossover like this (just make sure your headphone speakers don’t travel if you’re listening at work).

#2 Stories Behind The Story with Better Reading

Story Behind the Stories podcast takes listeners behind the scenes to hear about the dramatic personal experiences that inspire authors, eavesdrop on candid conversations about hot contemporary issues and they may even pick up some great writing tips.

International authors are also in the mix with Nigella Lawson and Man Booker Prize Winner George Saunders, amongst others.
