Episode 619: And Happy Holidays to all!

And that’s a wrap. Time to hang up the headphones and take a short break. The Coode Street Podcast is going on hiatus for the remainder of 2022 and will return early in 2023.

Just before the Gershwin Room closes for the holidays, though, Gary and Jonathan take a moment to chat about the Advent Calendar, the year just gone, and more.

Doing something like the podcast is a joy and a privilege, so Gary and Jonathan would like to thank everyone who has appeared on the podcast, everyone who has listened to it, and everyone who has supported it in any way.

We’d also like to thank everyone who has appeared on the podcast this year and everyone who has taken the time to listen. It’s a privilege to do this, and we’re grateful. See you next year!

Episode 618: The Coode Street Advent Calendar: Elizabeth Hand

Gary sits down to chat with a dear friend of the podcast, Elizabeth Hand, about what she’s been reading, what she’d recommend, her holiday recommendations, her own classic Christmas story, “Chip Crockett’s Christmas Carol“, and her fabulous new novel Hokolua Road.

We’d like to thank Liz for making the time to chat with us, and we hope you enjoy the episode.

Episode 617: The Coode Street Advent Calendar: N K Jemisin

The World We Make Way back in March 2020 we sat down with N.K. Jemisin to talk about her then-new fantasy novel, The City We Became. It was great. Then we had a whole pandemic, so we thought we’d check in to see how things are going. The holidays are literally upon us and Jonathan and Nora chat about what she’s been reading, what she’d recommend, and the sequel to that 2020 novel, The World We Make.

As always, our thanks to Nora. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Episode 616: The Coode Street Advent Calendar: Tochi Onyebuchi

Goliath, Tochi OnyebuchiWe spoke with Tochi Onyebuchi back in 2020 as part of “Ten Minutes with…“, when his award-winning novella Riot Baby was still new in the world. Since then Tochi’s been busy but has still managed to deliver another incredible novel, this time Goliath.

Today Jonathan and Tochi discuss what he’s been reading, what he’d recommend, his holiday reads, and what he’s been working on.

As always, our thanks to Tochi. We hope you enjoy the episode.
