  1. Can I be cheeky and add another to the UK list? I co-host a comics and pop culture podcast that includes an SFF book club for our listeners. We give people 6-8 weeks per book as everyone has busy lives and not everyone reads as many books as me! We tend to alternate between an older book or classic, and then a new book and on two occasions (Adrian Tchaikovsky and China Mieville) have managed to get the author involved and pose questions to them from listeners.
