Welcome to a Behind-the-Scenes conversation between Rachel Zucker and team members Christine Larusso and Valentine Conaty. We apologize, again, for our delayed production schedule and thank our listeners for sticking with us as life dictates the terms of our commitment to Commonplace. We discuss: recent team changes; upcoming themed episodes and/or series on literary workers’ labor organizing, healthcare and the body, and creative practice during quarantine; the literary gig economy; Commonplace’s attempts at financial solvency; divorce; self-care and self-help literature; new ways to interact with Commonplace; and more.
