I’ve spent decades thinking about how people experience stories together.

​

I’ve also spent years frustrated by traditional book clubs.


People fall behind.

People feel guilty.

People quietly lose interest while pretending they haven’t.

​

So I wanted to try something different.


What happens if people experience a story together in real time?

​

The Phoenix Live Listening Club is an ongoing public experiment in shared attention, conversation, and live storytelling experiences.

 

Instead of reading beforehand, we listen together.

​

Audiobooks, plays, performed literature, audio dramas, and other narrative performances all belong to the same family of experience.

​

  • No homework.

  • No pressure to sound smart.

  • No preparation required.
