What does it mean, to pursue a life of your own? And what is art & literature's role in figuring out what that might look like? Our show, A Life of Oneโs Own, with author and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo, gets into all of this and more, ready now wherever you listen ๐

11am on @NTSlive today, A Life Of Oneโs Own with Xiaolu Guo. Her latest book Radical explores what it really means for a woman to pursue her own freedom, so weโll be thinking about how to live autonomously, both as an artist & as a literary character, plus all the usual recs.

I'll miss @LitFriction - bright, perceptive, challenging and charming, it keeps IN those things that make actual convos fun: "How are you (really) doing?"; funny talk of the weather and meals cooked... I could listen to them non-stop - the books sometimes get in the way, tbh! ๐

Minisode 45 is out - in which we return to the theme of friendship (ours & in general). We also make a pretty big announcement: after 10 wonderful years of LF, our Year in Review show this December will be our last. (1/2)

It feels like the natural end, for reasons we get into in the episode, but we are really going to miss you all! And don't worry, there's also a final full show coming between now and our final goodbye ๐
