Re\VERB
We are Re\VERB, a podcast of Third Man Books. At Re\VERB, we talk about how life and culture influences literature and how literature influences life and culture. We invite writers mostly but also songwriters, musicians, filmmakers—people we love—who have a thing or two to say about music, literature and pop culture, and we host them at Third Man Records to have a chat in the Blue Room.

3: Camille T. Dungy Episode “The Person from Porlock is Knocking at Your Door”
“Writers of color run into that wall over and over and over again where people say, ‘that’s not the story I expect from you,’ and therefore it’s not worthy. And I don’t care about that. Right? It’s my story, and my story is a story of people who are connected to the land and in a usually pretty joyful way.”
