Today Stuart talks to Bethanne Patrick about her podcast, Missing Pages. Being a critic of your professional industry can go one of two ways, horribly wrong or positively eye-opening. Bethanne’s podcast, Missing Pages, is all about the controversies in the publishing industry. From the way that big publishers treat their authors, to plagiarism, to scams, to literal snake oil salespeople, the publishing industry is no stranger to controversy. Bethanne dives deep into these controversies while also conveying deeply meaningful and thought-provoking stories to her listeners.

Missing Pages is an investigative podcast hosted by world-renowned literary critic and publishing insider Bethanne Patrick. Book bans are on the rise across America. With the rise of social media, book publishers are losing their power as the industry gatekeepers. More and more celebrities and influencers are publishing books with ghostwriters. Writing communities are splintering because members are at cross purposes about their mission. An all-new season of the investigative podcast Missing Pages premieres on October 23rd. Produced by The Podglomerate.
