Dispatch Book Club on Dispatch Live

Join our weekly livestreamed conversation.

For members only, worlds will collide in next week’s Dispatch Live. Instead of the typical look at the week’s headlines next Tuesday night, Sarah, Kevin, Grayson, and Haley will be recording a live episode of The Dispatch Book Club podcast about the last book in this season of the Book Club podcast—One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson.

We’re telling members now in case you have the book sitting on your nightstand and have yet to crack it open. Dive into the book over the weekend and be ready to participate in the conversation on Tuesday night by putting your questions in the chat for Sarah, Kevin, Grayson, and Haley. 

If you’re unfamiliar with The Dispatch Book Club podcast, you can read more about the members-only podcast here. After Tuesday night, the recording will be available on the Dispatch Live and Dispatch Book Club podcast feeds. 

Tune in on April 25 at 8 p.m. eastern on YouTube. Come with your questions, grab a drink (or a few), and settle in for a meaningful conversation. 

Dispatch Live recordings will also be available as a members-only podcast on select platforms. We heard from many of you requesting audio recordings of Dispatch Live and we’re excited to provide this feature to members. See below for information on how to access the podcast.
