Hi, I'm Deborah Treisman, fiction editor of The New Yorker and host of the New Yorker Fiction Podcast.

On the podcast, I ask a great contemporary writer to select a favorite story from the magazine's almost hundred-year archive to read and discuss.

Together, we delve into the story, exploring its themes, its style, and what makes fiction work.

You can listen to authors like Otessa Moschweg talk about why we write.

Story or attaching a story or creating a story is this inclination that we all have to stop spinning.

And you can hear writers like George Saunders discuss the nature of storytelling.

You'll discover new favorite authors and read old favorites in new ways.

Episodes of the New Yorker Fiction Podcast are released on the first of every month.

Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts.
