Litopia All Shows

Thank you for the fantastically literate and interesting discussions present here. I would never hear this elsewhere!

it is.

I stumbled on Listopia by accident, and even with my only listening for an hour it was still on my mind a month later so I made time to listen again. I wasn't disappointed. Considering we're bombarded with information from a million different sources, and I didn't promptly forget about this show says a whole lot, to me. I only just started listening, but I'm already convinced it deserves a great rating in part because I feel as if I'm listening to like minded friends discussing unusual, interesting, and important topics. As someone else said, this show is not dumbed down, the hosts ask their guests intelligent, thoughtful questions, and don't crack stupid jokes, but they have a sense of humor. Also, each host has a unique personality, and background so that between everyone on the show all questions on one's own mind are talked about. Listening to Listopia is not a waste of precious time.

That Litopia only has 9 ratings on iTunes is shocking. Radio Litopia is a veritable goldmine of literary wit and information. This is what the salons of the Enlightenment would have been listening to had internet radio existed then. I love Litopia. Brilliant all the way around - informative, literate and FUNNY. I listen to the broadcasts daily. It's true there is much repetition of old programmes. The literary world is a big place and there's much to discuss - so much that it seems repeating programme broadcasts could be kept to a minimum. However, Radio Litopia, being a volunteer-led effort, must rely on the kindness of listeners to keep things going. It's at times like this I wish I was independently wealthy. I would completely fund them myself - they are offering a service to the literary community that has already had a lasting impact on my own literary life and could benefit the larger literary community if more people knew about it! If any of the 1% are reading this and appreciate Radio Litopia like I do, please consider fully funding them. What they do is a boon to the literary community and gives much inspiration and encouragement to those of us who love words. Consider it a contribution to the Second Enlightenment (which the world sorely needs). The thing that impresses me most is the adult nature of the conversation. There's no dumbing down, no puritanical monitoring of subject matter. For example, listening to Litopia After Dark feels very much like sitting down with close friends to talk frankly and comfortably about the topics of the day. Sadly, this kind of show could never never never happen in America. Many thanks to Radio Litopia's founders, hosts, guests and supporters. Keep up the excellent work.

Drink from the well of intelligent literary discourse then come back here and write up a review. Posterity will thank you.
