We’re a little more than halfway through the inaugural season of our new hit podcast, *Zero to Well-Read*, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, we think you’ll dig it.
Part book club, part English class, *Zero to Well-Read* aims to be a fun, informative, and irreverent guide to the books everyone talks about — from classics you should have read in high school to modern hits everyone’s buzzing about.
**Where to start:**
Listen to our season opener about *The Great Gatsby* for some background on our ideas and intentions for the project in general.
**Check in with a classic:**
We’ve had great conversations about *Their Eyes Were Watching God*, *The Bluest Eye*, and *Hamlet*. Prefer a modern classic? *Never Let Me Go* is the one for you.
**Get your pop culture fix:**
We believe that part of being well-read is being familiar with the books that shape the zeitgeist. Join us as we revisit *Twilight* on its 20th anniversary, or get the background on the 1990s novel that inspired *One Battle After Another*.
Follow *Zero to Well-Read* wherever you get your podcasts, and if you like the show, please share it with a bookish friend!
