In its most recent earnings report, Twitter revealed that it has over 139 million daily users, but the company’s first podcast it launched in 2019 was designed to only appeal to a tiny fraction of those users. The show is called Character Count and is hosted by Joe Wadlington, a creative lead in the department that helps educate small businesses on how to leverage Twitter in their marketing. And that’s the focus of Character Count, highlighting some of the most effective ways in which businesses utilize Twitter. Recent guests have worked for Dungeons and Dragons, Grindr, and Dropbox.

We’re drinking Manhattans—Amy’s go-to, “I’m fancy on a Friday night” drink—and making jokes about robotripping. We’re Reading: Amy is reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (and Kim & Emma are SO excited) and Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin. Kim is reading Necessary Trouble by Sarah Jaffe, The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis, and The Revenge of Analog by David Sax—which is her favorite book of 2016. Emma is reading My Favorite Thing Is Monsters by Emil Ferris (out from Fantagraphics Feb 14) and The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.  Also mentioned: Shirley Jackson’s memoir(ish) essay collections Life Among the Savages and Raising Demons and the new biography on Jackson, Shirley Jackson: a Rather Haunted Life by Ruth Franklin. She recommends all the Shirley Jackson book. Because Shirley Jackson is a #bosswitch Emma’s favorite book of 2016 is Trainwreck by Sady Doyle. Amy’s is Evicted by Matthew Desmond (paperback out Feb 28). If Kim were allowed to pick two favorites, her other favorite would be While the City Slept by Eli Sanders (paperback out Feb 7). We’re Excited About: Amy is looking forward to so many books in 2017, but, when pressed, narrowed it down to these six: All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg (out March 7) All the Lives I Want: Essays about My Best Friends Who Happen to Be Famous Strangers by Alana Massey (out Feb 7) Alana Massey is Amy’s “Twitter life coach,” so you should probably follow her too: @alanamassey The Road to Jonestown by Jeff Guinn (out April 11) Woman No. 17 by Edan Lepucki (out May 9) And We’re Off by Dana Schwartz (out May 2)  Dana Schwartz is also the creator of Guy In Your MFA.

Shipwreck is such an amazing concept, that Grand Central Publishing wanted to collect the stories in a book: Fanfiction Parodies of Great (and Terrible) Literature from the Smutty Stage of Shipwreck edited by Amy Stephenson and Casey A.

Chapter II [40:00] In Which We Reveal Bookseller Secrets and Are Super Supportive of Each Other The book description guaranteed to get Amy reading is: “strong female character written by a women involved in a murder somehow and you won’t believe the twist… bathtub gin reading.” If you need a gateway mystery, Amy recommends Tana French, specifically The Likeness. Her desert island pick is The Comedians by Graham Greene because she already reads it every year. Her Station Eleven pick (aka the world is falling apart, which it kind of is) is Erich Fromm: The Sane Society (NOTE: this is still in print, despite what we say in the episode) and On Disobedience by Eric Fromm Her Wild pick: something Didion “because Didion teaches you how to see the world.”  Bonus bookseller confession: neither Kim or Emma have read Didion. So where do you start with Didion?

Maybe you thought the 2006 live-action Charlotte's Web would be the most terrifying adaptation of this beloved childhood classic you would ever have to endure. Well, as always, we're here to disappoint. Thanks to Kamala Puligandla, Jared Schwartz, Sarah Stanton, Kitty Stryker, Irene Tu, and Joe Wadlington for getting down into the filth with us.

We've paid a shilling each to Sarah Jeong, Lauren Traetto, Joe Wadlington, Eh-BONE-ezer Splooge, and two anonymous donors, swaddled them in tatty lace, and asked them to write erotic fanfiction about the class-struggle classic Great Expectations. Fortunately, they didn't jilt us at the altar. Get ready for #DeepDickens.

This time at Shipwreck, we examine the controversy surrounding GMOs, via the Mary Shelley classic about that monster whose name we're always forgetting. Panelists include Evan Burton, Lily Miller, Giselle Cheung, Joe Wadlington, Kitty Stryker, and Molly Sanchez. Brought to you by Monsanto.

This podcast is perfect. It's so perfect that we fear we will never be as perfect as this podcast is in this moment. It will go on forever, poised in its eternal youth, while we piss away our lives with yellow books and opium dens and gradually become twisted, unrecognizable grotesqueries of our former selves. We hate this podcast. We wish Joe Wadlington, Alan Leggitt, Sarah Stanton, Matthew Verus, and their mysterious associate had never existed. Read by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.

This episode of Shipwreck is so good it sparkles in the sunlight. That's right, the book that sparked the world's favorite proto-BDSM fanfic for the sexually repressed: Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. Joshua Redel, Rebecca Rubenstein, Joe Wadlington, Na'amen Tilahun, Lauren O'Neal, and an anonymous figure watch you while you sleep. Read by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.

Finally, and at long last: Shipwreck goes Randian with Ayn's doorstop paean to libertarianism and specious causality. Doff your top hat, light a cigar, and raise a flute of Dom to Atlas Shrugged. Featuring gold-encrusted pastiche from The Walnut, Wonder Dave, Kamala Puligandla, Natalie Warner, Joe Wadlington, and an anonymous lord of industry. Read by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.
