As you can imagine, we’re all getting older and (theoretically) maturing. Well, one of us is, at any rate. In honor of my (Aaron’s) 40th birthday (on August 21st), and the tendency for guys to start chucking their lives in an attempt to recapture their youth as soon as they officially become middle-aged, we decided to talk through the idea of midlife crises related to reading. Listen in as we discuss:
All this plus gift-giving in the studio!
Bonus Content: “Bonhoeffer Convinced Me to Abandon My Dream” by Chase Repogle
We tend to joke a lot about “content,” “grit,” and “scenes” in books. But today, we’re having a serious conversation (as serious as we get anyway) about the place of questionable content in fiction, if there is actually a legitimate place at all. Listen in as we get think-piece-y while discussing:
As always, thanks to Lagares Roasters for partnering with us to make the Table of (mal)Contents blend. Pick up a bag (or 12) today.
We love our listeners—you are as much a part of this show as we are, with your questions, feedback, and more than a little shade that gets thrown at us. On today’s episode, we introduce a new way for you to participate in the show with our illiteracy helpline! With the help of Google Voice, we set up a new number for you to call in with your questions, and asked a few of you to test it out. And boy, did you ask some great questions! Listen in as we discuss:
And if you have a question for the show, call our illiteracy helpline at 615-538-7473 and leave us a message. Your question may be featured on a future episode.

The three of us read a lot of books, but even as guys who really like to read, there are too many books that are just way too long. Maybe you feel the same way. So today, we’re back in the studio in Nashville to talk about some of our favorite books that are quick reads. Listen in as we discuss:
All of us live around Nashville, but sometimes it takes traveling to Indianapolis to make magic happen. That’s what happens on this episode of Table of (mal)Contents, as Russ Ramsey joins us for a great chat about the art of writing, and that time he wrote a letter to Annie Dillard.

A little while ago, we had a scheduling conflict and Barnabas couldn’t join us for a podcasting session (he had to work or something). But we couldn’t have a snarkless episode, so we asked our good friend Rachel Shaver to join us on the show! Listen in to a rare Barnbas-less episode where we discuss:

A little while ago, Dave and I recorded a couple of special episodes of Reading Writers. They were, in fact, the final two episodes of season 3 of the show. But rather than doing this whole “releasing them on time” thing, I went and had a big project get in the way.
So, we’re releasing the first of these two episodes today. In this episode, Dave and I discuss something incredibly important, especially for folks living a busy lifestyle: how do you fit reading into the margins of life?
Although we don’t discuss too many books this time around, we do still give a shout-out to a couple we’re both reading:
