Reminder: Dispatch Book Club Tonight on Dispatch Live

Join our weekly livestreamed conversation.

As we mentioned over the weekend, we’re doing a special Dispatch Live tonight, bringing on Sarah, Kevin, Grayson, and Haley to discuss Bill Bryson’s book One Summer: America, 1927. If you’ve read the book (or if you haven’t!), feel free to join for our final Dispatch Book Club discussion of the season.

As a reminder, if you’re unfamiliar with The Dispatch Book Club podcast, you can read more about the members-only podcast here. After tonight, the recording will be available on the Dispatch Live and Dispatch Book Club podcast feeds. 

Tune in on April 25 at 8 p.m. ET 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.

Dispatch Live is a weekly virtual gathering for members featuring Dispatch writers, editors, and special guests. Attendees can ask questions of our panelists and interact with other members via the chat feature. Or you can just sit back with your beverage of choice and watch the proceedings. While you can see the panelists, they can’t see you.

Dispatch Live is hosted on YouTube, at the link above. A Google account is not required to view the event, but one is required to use the YouTube Live chat. Here’s how to create one with your normal email: Create a Google Account. Alternatively, Dispatch members can submit comments and questions during the broadcast on this post.

We will post a recording of this edition of Dispatch Live on the site shortly after it concludes.
