LA-Lit records interviews poets and writers in the Los Angeles area. Reflecting the shifting nature of Los Angeles as a place, this may mean writers that have lived in LA all their lives or writers who happen to be in LA for a couple of days. LA-Lit is a place for the literary culture of Los Angeles to develop and exhibit itself. LA-Lit is co-hosted and co-produced by Stephanie Rioux and Mathew Timmons and with the help of Jason Brown of Superbunker. Past recordings are available on archive.org.
