Ursula K. Le Guin’s blog has been turned into a podcast


For those will never tire of the words of Ursula K. Le Guin, a special treat is on the way. The esteemed late author’s blog, which she started in 2010 at the age of 81, is being rereleased 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, the podcast will include everything: essays, poems and “even the ones that are mostly cat pictures,” according to the announcement. The first episode will be released April 8 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other platforms.

From Le Guin’s official Instagram account, which is managed by her estate:

We always wanted to hear a version of the blog that includes every single post, even the ones that are mostly cat pictures. So for the next two years and change, we’ll release 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 catches their fancy.

You can listen to a trailer here ahead of the first episode’s release this week. Post zero, “A Note at the Beginning,” will be read by David Mitchell.
