13 1/2 Minutes is the strangest little literary podcast that you’ve ever heard. Each month, host Kendra L. Saunders asks the questions that no one else ever thinks to. From important questions about zombie invasions and the validity of Yoda’s wisdom, to the ins and outs of writing and publishing a novel, 13 1/2 Minutes provides an entertaining and insightful glimpse into literature.

13 1/2 Minutes is currently #6 on ipmnation.com, and you can help make it #1 by listening or downloading the debut episode! Guest author Emily White talks about her upcoming debut novel, Elemental, and her reasoning behind wanting F. Scott Fitzgerald on hand during a zombie attack.
