HopLit hosts David & Emily indulge in a mutual interest beyond beer and books… movies! The 98th Academy Awards bring nearly a century of incredible storytelling, and since the inaugural show in 1929, the award for adapted screenplay has been a staple of the show. David & Emily share their favorite nominees and wins while highlighting the importance of the source material as they look forward to the Oscars. And as always, they share recent reads, fun brews, and new book and beer news as we head into March. Tune in now for a dive into the adapted screenplay!
HopLit is a beery book podcast for everyone, with no snobbery and no gatekeeping. We don't believe in guilty pleasures of either the liquid or literary varieties. Whatever you're reading and however you're reading it, and whatever you're drinking or if you're not drinking at all, this podcast is for you.
HopLit is hosted by David Nilsen & Emily Swank.
