Ep 642 - Last Night at the Telegraph Club, by Malinda Lo
Lo's award-winning novel seeks to shine a light on marginalized experiences from mid-century San Francisco. What's most impressive is how she's synthesized all of her research into a couple of fresh, compelling characters - allowing the story to honor the historical record without feeling overly bound by it.
Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.

Customer Reviews
Fun and Insightful
If you’re looking for a podcast that is insightful and deep but also extremely positive and fun- this is for you. My favorite thing is how the guys are so accepting/supporting of the authors and books they read. Sure they may make jokes about it here and there but it’s always in this warm, friendly way that makes listening incredibly enjoyable.
Not bad, minor flaws, worth a try
I enjoy that podcast. Sometimes the guys get sidetracked a lot though - which is not always as interesting as they think😉 or maybe it is for others. Overall Very likable narrators . When they quote/ read out loud it’s unbearable though, but i just skip a minute or four… . No worries. All in all: nice and interesting most of the time
