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.

Last weekend, I was feeling grumpy and worn out from the pandemic. I vented to some friends during a park play date, and my friend Katie said, "This is hard. It is really, really hard." I needed that reminder. It seems so obvious: of course this is hard. But it has been so hard for so long, I sometimes forget that we are living through extraordinary circumstances. In this episode, I am taking the time to acknowledge how difficult living through this pandemic is. It was very helpful for me to make this episode. I hope it helps some of you!
