| 3/12/26 | ![]() A Lightning Round | We are back with a very special episode where a reviewer is being reviewed! Supriya interviews her co-host and friend, Deepanjana Pal, about her newly-published novel, “Lightning in a Shot Glass”. Originally written to blow off steam during the pandemic, Deepanjana pulled this story out of her bottom drawer last year, serving up a romantic comedy that makes you laugh, cry, and get a little hot under the collar. From the challenges of writing credible Indian English dialogue to crafting fantastical, sexy men who still feel real, The Lit Pickers dish on the mechanics of writing a wildly enjoyable book.

| 4/22/24 | ![]() Inquiring Noses and Curious Questions | It’s that time of the year again where we answer all your pressing questions and give our hot (and sometimes curmudgeonly) takes. Mae takes the reins as she poses an array of audience questions to Deepanjana and Supriya, about the world of books, sometimes food, other times film, and everything in between. From how to write a good book review to pet peeves about moral posturing, to books about critical theory and radical feminist discourse, The Lit Pickers are here to solve your predicaments. They also discuss book clubs, audiobooks, the joy of gifting books, and how sometimes there are cosmic forces at play to help you find a book. Sometimes stumped by questions, other times excited, and always collectively fangirling over authors, listen to Deepanjana and Supriya talk about what is their cup of tea and when they would rather have some filter coffee instead. We're going on a brief summer holiday. Be back before you know it. If you miss us before then, please dive into our archive, or reach out to us on @supriyanair and @dpanjana on Instagram.
