This isn’t a podcast for total beginners. We’re going to assume that you know what plot structure is, what a protagonist is, where ideas come from, and how to use a semicolon. This is a podcast for people who can already write okay, but want to do better.
No, your eyes do not deceive you—this is a new episode of Rite Gud in your podcast feed. But it’s also NOT a new episode. We’re finally taking the best of our Book Club episodes from behind the paywall. This was originally released May 26, 2024.
In this edition of the Book Club, we talk about Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood.
