The Courtney Novak Podcast is a curiosity-led exploration of books, culture, aging well, creativity, and the ideas that shape a thoughtful life.
Hosted by writer Courtney Novak, the show blends literary reflections, personal explorations, and ongoing projects—like reading around the world—with broader ruminations on health, meaning, change, and growth. Episodes are guided by curiosity, loose outlines, and a healthy dose of chaos, allowing ideas to unfold naturally and conversationally.
For curious minds and readers who like their podcasts reflective, expansive, and human.

This week, I revisit the topic of distance learning because hello, it's 2020 and starting to feel like my second grader will never go back to "normal" school. I was in a 2020 rut at the beginning of October and feeling broken by distance learning. It is so time consuming! And aggravating! But then, my muse gave me an idea: I needed to stop working on my fantasy series and work on a new book called The Distance Learning Activity Book For Parents Just Barely Holding On To Their Last Shred Of Sanity. Writing and publishing that book restored my spirits - but damn, distance learning is still tough. Hence, this episode, in which I share about my struggles and the things that are helping me from completely losing my mind.
