I’ve guest starred on a number of podcasts over the years, but here are original podcasts that I host or cohost. If you love books and deep conversations about them, you may just love what we do.

If you’re looking for writing specific podcasts and con panel recordings, check out the links over at the page Writing & Writing Advice.

Resistance Reads

Literature is a conversation about the human experience. One important facet of that experience is the relationship between power and resistance. In this podcast, Matt Wellstrom and Michael Kilman explore a variety of works of literature pursing questions about the nature of power and how people live with, or fight back against systems of power. So far we’ve covered books such as 1984, V for Vendetta, The Ministry for the Future, and Passing. Our discussions are grounded in social science, history, law, philosophy, and activism.

Episodes are initially livestreamed on YouTube and we love audience questions and thoughts. A few days after the livestream, episodes go up on all your favorite platforms. Come join us at the next livestream here! or listen to the replay of past episodes here.

Literatura Obscura

Literatura Obscura is a podcast that dives deep into books that are strange, unusual, lesser known, and/or obscure. Athena Huff-Sandstrom and Michael Kilman explore everything from experimental works of fiction, to fiction that’s just plan… well… strange. We are launching our first episode live in July of 2025 with an exploration of the existentialist horror novel, The House of Leaves with more episodes soon to follow. Like Resistance Reads, we livestream the episode over on YouTube and, once we have aggregated several episodes we will launch it on other podcast services. Find the livestreamed episodes here.
