A new episode of This Queer Book Saved My Life drops next week on January 7! In our off weeks, we air the most recent episode of The Gaily Show which J.P. hosts for AM950 Radio.

Today is the literature episode from this year’s first annual The Gaily Show Awards or The Gailies. A guest judge is invited to look back at the year that was in literature, film, TV, and poetry. Our guest judge for Literature is author Patrick Nathan. His new novel The Future Was Color was selected by the Los Angeles Book Review as their "Book of the Summer." He is also the author of Some Hell and Image Control: Art, Fascism, and the Right to Resist.

You can find the full list of honorees (and some dishonorees) on The Gaily Show’s social media. On Bluesky: @thegailyshow.org. On Instagram: @the_gailyshow.
