  • Summary

  • welcome to talk lit, get hit - a podcast where we read questionable books recommended to us by social media and talk shit about them. we’re Bridget, Eryn and Laura, three friends who haven’t mentally progressed since high school where we bonded over a love of music and books - but mainly Twilight. brace yourself for a heady cocktail of somewhat highbrow and incredibly lowbrow ramblings about all the books the internet loves and our journey to figure out why.

    Apr 15 2024

    we took the time to chat a little deeper about the author mona awad and two of her most popular books rouge (you can listen to the talk lit, get hit episode on this one while you’re at it) and bunny (keep an eye on jade’s feed for this). in this episode we discuss MFA writing programs, the occult and of course, the insidious power of a college clique. sounds great, doesn't it bunny? put on your red shoes, slap on your finest snail mucin and join us for our first ever bonus episode!

  • my brilliant friend
    Apr 8 2024
    ciao, brilliant friends! get ready to talk about translated fiction and dive into the world of Elena Ferrante's "My Brilliant Friend”. join us for a whirlwind discussion where we navigate through poorly pronounced Italian words, questionable cover designs, and the magical art of translated fiction.

    from dissecting the brilliance of Ann Goldstein's translation to brief mentions of Italian cultural icons like the Lizzie McGuire movie and Stefano from A Series of Unfortunate Events, we're leaving no stone unturned.

    can we relate to Lila and Elena's adventures as much as we relate to Lizzie's Roman holiday? let’s find out!

    so grab your espresso and channel your inner Italian stallion as we laugh, cry, and discuss all things "My Brilliant Friend."

    tune in and let's get lost in translation together!

  • song of achilles
    Mar 11 2024

    why did achilles go to therapy? to heel his emotional trauma.

    speaking of emotional trauma, our book for historical fiction month is the song of achilles by madeline miller and this episode is a doozy. historians have marvelled at and theorised about the man, the myth, the legend that is achilles for centuries but have never come close to the hot takes we here at talk lit have come up with. risk the wrath of the gods with us as we discuss the lore, the mystery of how to correctly pronounce greek names and why patroclus was so obsessed with feet. (he would have loved onlyfans).
