Other People Podcast is a twice-weekly literary podcast hosted by author Brad Listi, who is also the founder of the online magazine The Nervous Breakdown. Listi began the podcast on September 14, 2011, with guest Jonathan Evison. Listi starts each episode with a monologue. He then interviews a guest, usually for about an hour. The episodes conclude with Listi summing up and reciting two facts, which usually relate to literary figures, a practice that author David Markson inspired. Buzzfeed and Lit Reactor have both named it one of the best literary podcasts. Show subjects have included writing, adderall as a performance-enhancing drug, and pedophillia.
Notable guests include Tao Lin, Cheryl Strayed, Mira Gonzalez, Doug Dorst, Jesmyn Ward, and Ben Fountain.
