Episode 13: Please don’t tell me about your dreams

Welcome to the thirteenth installment of the Animal Riot Podcast. We'd like to reintroduce Jared Pollen, whose first collection of stories is debuting with Crowsnest, an imprint of Political Animal, a journal dedicated to high-level political discourse. In the vein of writers such as Don DeLillo and Christopher Hitchens, Jared's writing strikes an uncannily subtle brand of literary satire that at opportune moments dips almost imperceptibly into incisive sociopolitical commentary. Along with fellow O.G. George Sawaya, we talk Jared's inspirations, approach to writing, and end with a reading from one of the collection's stories.

Transcripts for our Deaf and Hard of Hearing Animals can be found on our website.
