Sad to hear of the passing of Daniel Woodrell who wrote so many great books; Winter's Bone, Tomato Red, The Death of Sweet Mister, the three that I've read.

Such a great podcast. I’ve read numerous books featured on this and its sister podcast, Locklisted, but it’s more than that. The hosts are very good company, and conjure conversations and a community I feel like I’m part of. Backlisted is superb even when I’m relatively uninterested in the book.
The first episode of Backlisted was published on 30th November 2015, ten years ago today. @backlisted.bsky.social
