Chatter on Books

Author: Torie Clarke

Chatter On Books is a weekly podcast hosted by Torie Clarke, with co-hosts Claude Jennings and David Aldridge, plus a rotating crew of writers, journalists, and the occasional welcome surprise. Every week, the gang sits down with a new author, debates what they're reading, and lets the conversation wander wherever it wants to go. It's the kind of show where the guests are interesting, the hosts are opinionated, and nobody's pretending this is a book club.

Camille Acker "A Very Special Episode"
Tuesday, 15 September, 2026

Chatter rolls into fall with Claude, David, Jamie, and Torie. They pay respects to Dolly, the great one and reflect on the 9/11 25th anniversary. "The Pitch" is down to three finalists — Chantel Acevedo and "Cages," Melissa Faliveno and "Hemlock," and Tom Lin and "Babylon, South Dakota." Prolific writer, Fulbright scholar, and DMV native Camille Acker zooms in to share "A Very Special Episode." It's about Black TV (sort of) and a lot about family, race, class, and identity. And it totally surprises — in a good way.
