Those who are Ursula K. Le Guin will never tire of his words, he has a special treat coming up. The late respected author’s blog, which she started in 2010 at the age of 81, is being reissued as a podcast, in your spare time. Le Guin’s blog ran until 2017, and a book collecting a selection of those posts was published that year. But, according to the announcement the podcast will include everything: essays, poems and “even ones that are mostly pictures of cats”. The first episode will be released on April 8 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms.
From Le Guin’s official Instagram account, which is managed by her estate:
We’ve always wanted to hear a version of the blog that included every single post, even the ones that consisted mostly of pictures of cats. So for the next two years and change, we’ll be releasing an episode every Wednesday. Each episode features a different reader of Ursula’s text, and each reader adds their own thoughts – about their relationship with Ursula and her work, or about the specific topic of the post, or whatever else strikes their fancy.
You can listen to the trailer here ahead of the release of the first episode this week. Post zero, “A Note at the Beginning,” will be read by David Mitchell.
