The Terrible Reading Club
books that deal with the hard stuff, hosted by Nora McInerny
The Terrible Reading Club is a podcast about great books for truly terrible times. Host Nora McInerny knows a thing or two about this kind of literature, because's she's written several books herself about tough subjects like grief and loss and mental health (and moving forward in the face of it all).
Each episode centers a book that deals with Hard Stuff and features an interview with the author about their work. And the best part about this reading club? You don't need to read the book ahead of time!

“Saving Us” With Katharine Hayhoe
If you’re sent into an anxiety spiral every time you hear the words “climate change,” you’re not alone. Everything we read these days tells us that the clock is ticking down, and there is nothing we as individuals can do about it.
But Nora talked to climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe recently about her book Saving Us, and she told us that yeah, things are bad … but it’s not hopeless!
“You’d Be Home Now” With Kathleen Glasgow
Adolescence is generally a pretty terrible part of a person’s life. Being a teenager is hard! It (often) sucks!
But reading about teenagers doesn’t suck, and one of Nora’s favorite YA authors is Kathleen Glasgow.
In this episode, Nora talks with Kathleen about her book You’d Be Home Now, which tackles addiction and mental health and a lot of other tough subjects that impact young people. They also talk about being Twihards, because obviously.
