The Margins Community
Where stories meet people, places, and purpose.
We’re more than a podcast—we’re building a space for readers, listeners, and literary rebels to connect, share, and uplift. From our virtual book club to live events and local bookstore collabs, this is where it all happens.
Read Rant Repeat!
Read Rant Repeat is a new interactive segment on The Margins Podcast. This is where your voice comes in.
Call us at (323) 380-0058 and leave a voicemail with your:
- Hot takes on books you’ve read
- Dream fan casts
- Any rant you’re ready to get off your chest (as long as it’s not too wild)
We feature the best calls on the podcast and shout out listeners who leave their social handles. Keep an eye out for live shows too, where we’ll take callers in real time.
Read it. Rant it. Repeat it.
5 Hard Questions
Our signature segment. Every episode, we ask each other 5 hard questions inspired by the book we’re reading. They’re not always comfortable, and they don’t always have easy answers, but they spark the conversations that stick with you.
Local Love: Indie Bookstore Spotlights
In this section, we’ll be highlighting independent bookstores we’ve visited—places that keep stories alive and community strong.
We’re working on something very cool behind the scenes, so stay tuned for shop features, local partnerships, and ways you can support the spaces that support the culture.
