Hello old friends,
Grace here. In the last couple of years, I've started a comedy duo with my friend April Clark called Girl God and we just launched a new podcast titled The Girl God Experience. I'm uploading the first episode onto the ol' Comp Lit feed because I thought you all might want to check it out. Thank you! 

Julie and Grace talk to film critic and writer Jourdain Searles about Inside Out, Demi Moore's wild and moving autobiography. Follow Jourdain on Twitter at @Jourdayen and make sure you subscribe to Competitive Literature so you never, ever, ever miss an episode. 

Julie and Grace talk with author Jen Ashley Wright about Emily St. John Mandel's thrilling tale of pandemic theater kids, Station Eleven. Follow Jen on Twitter @jenashleywright.

This is it. Julie and Grace's greatest battle of wits yet comes to its thrilling conclusion as podcast grandmasters Sean Clements and Hayes Davenport (Hollywood Handbook) choose who is worthy to join their little clique and who is an absolute fucking idiot who read The Secret History by Donna Tartt wrong. 

Check out Hollywood Handbook's Patreon and subscribe to Competitive Literature or be forever cast out from the hallways of the Literati. 

Sean Clements and Hayes Davenport from Hollywood Handbook join Julie and Grace to admire and explore The Secret History by Donna Tartt, the only book that has never been adapted into a movie and the first book we've covered that couldn't fit into only one episode. 

Part two is out next week, until then why not check out Hayes' excellent deep dive into Los Angeles politic and culture, the appropriately titled LA Podcast. 

Lindsay Katai (Infinity Train) uses her expert skills as an avowed critic of horror literature to absolutely grill Grace and Julie to a crisp about Shirley Jackson's classic psychological thriller, Hangsaman. Follow Lindsay @LindsayKatai and check out her podcast Teen Creeps.

Writer of comedy, comics, children's novels and more Daniel Kibblesmith joins Grace and Julie to talk about John Gardner's Beowulf-inspired novel Grendel. But who did a better job of reading the book and is therefore an objectively smarter, more important person? 

Listen to find out! Then follow Daniel at @kibblesmith, Julie at @JulieAbridged, and Grace at @GraceGFreud. Don't forget to subscribe to Competitive Literature for more episodes!

The scholarly pair of Rajat Suresh and Jeremy Levick join Grace and Julie to talk about Dr. Seuss' most important work: The Sneetches and Other Stories.
