That's ProbLITmatic is currently in a development period with the Louisville Public Media Podcast Incubator and is seeking individuals with expertise in social sciences to join host Lacy Phillips in discussing problematic or toxic behaviors in your favorite classic and contemporary books. There's no need for guests of That's ProbLITmatic to read the book being discussed (unless you want to!) as the host will present the pertinent literary analysis and record guest reactions in real-time.

If you're a book-loving social science professional or pre-professional student in the Louisville area who would like to join Lacy to record an episode, contact Problitmatic@gmail.com !
