Native American Heritage Month

The hosts of HopLit, David & Emily, celebrate Native American Heritage Month in November by sharing some of their favorite Indigenous authors. From David Heska Wanbli Weiden to Layli Long Soldier, HopLit raises a glass to American Indian fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.  In addition, Emily & David celebrate November literary birthdays while sharing their recent reading alongside upcoming beer & book events. 

HopLit is a beery book podcast for everyone, with no snobbery and no gatekeeping. We don't believe in guilty pleasures of either the liquid or literary varieties. Whatever you're reading and however you're reading it, and whatever you're drinking or if you're not drinking at all, this podcast is for you.

HopLit is hosted by David Nilsen & Emily Swank.
