Our Favorite Author Interviews of 2022
When the People of the Book podcast, we interview a lot of writers. Here are five great conversations with authors this year.


We love interviewing authors on Unorthodox and getting to share their work with our listeners. Here are five of our favorite interviews with writers from the past year.
Ep. 305: Old School
This episode includes an interview with Gentile of the Week Chuck Klosterman, whose new book is The Nineties. He tells us why the ’90s were the last real decade, and what it’s like to earnestly promote a book about an era when apathy reigned supreme.
Ep. 337: Spirited Debate
Our Jew of the Week is feminist icon Letty Cottin Pogrebin, author of the new book Shanda: A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy. She tells us about her personal Jewish awakening, and about reckoning with her Jewish identity within the feminist movement.
Ep. 329: Dog Days
Australian surf-fiction writer Tim Winton joins us as Gentile of the Week to chat surfing, writing, and ... the feral camel population in Australia.
Ep. 306: Chasing Memories
Tablet’s own Wayne Hoffman, whose latest book is The End of Her: Racing Against Alzheimer’s to Solve a Murder, joins us on this episode to discuss family legends, coming to terms with his mother’s decline, and the morass of memory.
Ep. 341: Work It
Our Jew of the Week is writer Isabel Kaplan, who tells about her new novel, NSFW, and the subtle ways that sexism crops up in everyday life and work.
