Missing Pages
The investigative podcast hosted by world-renowned literary critic and publishing insider Bethanne Patrick returns for a second season. As in Season One, which garnered a Signal Award and an Honorable Mention in The Webby Awards, Missing Pages uncovers parts of the sometimes-secretive world of book publishing. Highlights of Season two include episodes on ghostwriting, book banning, fan fiction and so much more. Each episode brings in authors, experts, publishing insiders, and a circus of NYC media elites to tell the real story, unfit for print.
