Hi everyone, I'm Susie Weiss, and I've noticed there's just simply not enough podcasts in the world. So I'm launching my own. Let's go. Let's go, baby. Second Thought is a weekly show about pop culture. The stuff everyone's been binging, arguing about, obsessing over. Here's the thing about heated rivalry. I mean, even the most devoted swifties, I think we can agree, not our best work. We'll be hosting thoughtful conversations with culture's most important figures. Talk about genius.

Talk about generational talent.

Coming to headphones near you

on April 17th with a first guest you won't want to miss. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello and welcome to Quick Fix, how-to's bonus episode Slate Plus members. Now, in our main episode,

we decided to spend a week checking in with you, our listeners. I talked with Elizabeth,

the listener from How to Lose Your Virginity at 43. That was a fun update. And then we dipped into

our mailbag to read advice mainly about how to start reading again. As expected, Carvel and I could not stop talking about

books. And with how much of a splash the reading episode made both times we ran it, we figured

there's some fellow book nerds in the crowd. So, without further ado, here's more of our conversation

on audiobooks, cozy mysteries, and romance novels.

One of the other piece of advice that seemed to really resonate is making reading work for you,

which is kind of what we were just talking about.

It doesn't have to be curling up with a hardbound classic.

It doesn't even have to be reading with your eyes.

What?

That's a Hall of Fame tease right there.

When we come back, what other senses can you use to read besides your eyes more than that?

Breaking news.

Hi, my name is Naomi.

I wanted to get back to you about reading again, and I am a lifelong reader, but actually have Huntington's disease now, and I'm listening to a lot of audiobooks. And parents were readers and writers and my whole family.

Many of my siblings are also writers and readers.
