Books podcast

Hey, guys

Does anyone know a good podcast about fantasy books?

Thx

I’ve gotten back into reading in a big way over the last year or so, and it’s been fantastic- but sometimes I worry that I’m tearing through books so quickly that I’m not giving myself enough time to reflect on what I’ve just read, or dive deeper into the themes and motifs or “messages” of the books.

I’ve recently read the original 6 Dune books for the first time and I loved them. I just happened across a podcast called Escape Hatch (fka Dune Pod) that goes through all of the books in detail and talks about them, and I found it super helpful in connecting some dots that I missed in my readthrough, and exploring broader themes that didn’t necessarily occur to me.

This had me thinking, maybe I should look into podcasts about other books I’ve read as well. (I also just read House Of Leaves and would love to listen to some exploratory recap and discussion of that cuz there’s so much to unpack).

What are the best podcasts out there that discuss books like this? I’m not new to the world of podcasts, but there are just SO many out there- many of which are just some random guy with a microphone and two listeners- so I was hoping to get some perspective on what some of the best ones are!

Thanks!

I love to listen to people talk about a different book in each episode, and I was wondering if anyone knew of podcasts like this that have a sense of humor

Do you have any recommendations for interesting or enjoyable podcasts about Fantasy? BTW, if you search Podcast sites like Apple's using the search term"Fantasy" you get a deluge of fantasy football podcasts as a result. I had better luck using the search term 'Fantasy Books.'

Hey. I'm a big reader. Can anyone recommend me a podcast in which they discuss books? Cheers!!

I miss Bookworm :(

I'm looking for podcasts that discuss books. I finished Cats Cradel, Never Let me Go, and am now reading East of Eden. I love these books and many others, but at the end of them (or even during) I find I come to my own conclusions but am really looking to hear a discussion about the books.

In high school I was in AP English classes and we would do a Socratic seminar thing on the books we were reading. The entire class would sit in a circle and people would bring up different plot points and important details and add their opinions on what they thought it all meant, and then other people would add on to it too. I really loved how books were unpacked and the different perspectives I never could have had all by myself.

Anyone know something like this that fits?

My podcast covers beginner tips and commonly asked questions among other topics involving books and audiobook production. I have been an audiobook narrator for the past 6 years and decided to start a podcast that can help connect booklovers of all kinds. It currently has 6 episodes.

The video slowly improves as I stumble and learn through the first few episodes so hang in there.

If you think this might grow into something you would be entertained by please subscribe, comment and like so I can hop into those algorithms and turn this channel into something great.

I have a nice commute to work and I go on daily walks with my son so I have plenty of listening time. I’m a big podcast fan and wanted to expand outward from my Stephen King podcasts and JennaJulien ones to see what else is out there.

I love reading and read a lot of different genres from YA to horror to contemporary fiction.

What are some great book-related podcasts that you like to listen to? Maybe even some hidden gems?

I have recently started listening to podcasts and am in the process of subscribing to those which would meet my fields of interest. So any recommendations for book related ones?

Edit: thanks everyone for the wonderful response and recommendations! Now all I need is some time to listen to all of them. So conflicted if I should spend more time reading or listen to people talk about reading :)

My favorites are What Should I Read Next with Anne Bogel, The Book Riot podcast and Get Booked (though I listen to most of Book Riot’s podcasts), Teen Creeps, The Librarian Is In, the SSR podcast, and Just the Right Book. Are there any good ones I’m missing out on? (I’m not a fan of Literary Disco).

When Mostly Lit was active, I really enjoyed the format as they were young people from migrant backgrounds discussing literature, and I felt I could relate to them. I've listened to Overdue for years but while they're awesome, they rarely ever do a deep discussion of the books they read, and them bantering detracts from actual discussion most of the time. Would love new suggestions.

I was enjoying Literary Disco until this fucking asshole spoiled Girl on the Train just because he thought the book sucked. Fuck you man maybe I would have liked it.

I would expect this from review episodes that are specifically focused on a given book, but this was not that. Any other literary podcasts with better hosts?

I love reading a novel and then listening to podcast analysis about it. The only one I listen to currently is Novel Conversations.

Hey Guys! So recently my friend suggested this beautiful podcast about books on Youtube. The hosts are based out of Mumbai ,India. The format of podcast is pretty simple. The hosts pick any topic ranging from philosophy to sci-fi and discuss the books worth reading in these fields. Each week they get a special guest to discuss that particular theme and share and discuss their views regarding the literature in that field along with sharing their best picks. I have got some great recommendations watching this podcast. The podcast (or botcast as they like to call it) has around 20 odd episodes so far and i hope they keep making this good stuff.They also recently put out a Booker long list podcast on which they discuss some of the nominations. Since the podcast is based out in India, there might some inside jokes which you might not get but don't let that stop you. They discuss some pretty great topics in these episodes. Also one of the judges has a pretty good(or bad?) habit of making puns, so beware! Hope this gives you guys some of the great reads of your lives! Happy reading! Link to their first episode : One of my favorite episodes :

I've been listening to this podcast called Book Worm, which is not always that great. I'm curious what other book podcasts you guys like.

Podcasts have become a way for me to learn about new books and authors and was wondering if anyone has any favorites to recommend. I've discovered Books on the Nightstand, The New Yorker Fiction, The Guardian Short Stories and from BBC 4 The Archers. Also NY Public Library, Free Library of Philadelphia and British Library all have very good author interviews. What are your favorites?

So, and the finale, Joanna Robinson (formerly at Vanity Fair and now at The Ringer) mentions that she's heard "whispers" that Lucasfilm is interested in, and building towards, the idea of a post-Sequel Trilogy Jedi Order that's truly apart from the old one and actually embraces attachments. Basically, what some expected the Sequels to be about. Joanna doesn't sell herself as a leaker; she's a respected and credible reporter in the entertainment industry and has tons of sources at Marvel (she's writing a book about the history of the MCU from bts) and the rest of Disney, but she does drop these nuggets from time to time.

The Ringer-Verse podcast was talking about their wish to see an actual Jedi Order that learned from their mistakes, and Joanna replied that that's exactly what she's heard Lucasfilm is very interested in doing. Of course, she adds the caveat that "you can fill an entire stadium with ideas Lucasfilm has been interested in but never realized."

But I think the Mando Saga is clearly planting the seeds of this idea so it can take fruit later on in more tv series' and films.

EDIT: made it clear this is about a Jedi Order set AFTER the Sequel Trilogy.
