Best Podcasts for Bookish Folk?
I was wondering if anyone has book/publishing-related podcasts that they enjoy and would like to share.

I have no connection to either of these two, but really enjoy both:

I imagine one could find these on iTunes. I listen on my Zune and found them in the Zune Marketplace easily enough.

Thanks!

( "Bookish folk"...I think I've been reading too much Tolkien...)

For author interviews, I'll add:

Writers on Writing - they have a whopping number of archived shows as well as current offerings.

Reading and Writing Podcast - not as many offerings, but interesting material.

The Seattle Public Library has podcasts of author lectures and other activities, including my favorites where librarians get together over coffee to talk about books they've recently read and highly recommend (most are under 2010).

Folks here wonder what use the Sony ereader audio feature might be used for ... well ... stuff like this!

+1 for the NYT and BBC podcasts!

Thanks for the other recommendations!
If you like SF, you might try the Geeks Guide to the Galaxy, where they interview the likes of Neil Gaiman and George RR Martin

I enjoy the "Sword and Laser" podcast. Worth checking out if you like fantasy and sci fi.

Yep; it's one of my favs. I have speaker docks scattered all over the house and stream radio on my iPod touch all the time. I love the shows on BBC Radio; especially the dramas on Radio 4 and Radio 4 extra.

Another fan here! And I just love In Our Time - this show has started me off on so many bpok-reading voyages of discovery. Whole areas of history etc that I had barely heard of have seen me off hunting books and more information.

Cool

I haven't heard that show before, so I'm listening to it right now. I already love it, because I love history. I just subscribed. Thanks for the heads up
