Podcasts on books and writers

By thescian on August 29, 2008.

It's blogroll rebuilding time! How better to start than with a clean slate. To begin, all the book podcasts I listen to regularly have now been placed in Google Reader. You'll also find it shared on the side bar to the left. Subscribe to the share, if you would like to keep a tab on my recommendations. At the moment, unfortunately, the shared items are listed in the order I marked them and so you may have to paginate a bit to get through them. It's still worth a look, if I may say so. Below are some I highly recommend:

I welcome your recommendations of writers/books podcast you think I should listen to.

Hi - That's the best resource for book-related podcasts I've found so far. Thanks!

I hope you don't mind a little self-promotion. A colleague and I have a book podcast (and blog) at http://www.booksonthenightstand.com

It is conversational in style, runs about 20 minutes per episode, and we publish every 2 weeks, on Wednesdays.

I hope you get a chance to check it out. If you do, please let me know what you think.
