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.

I just found this post! Thank you Ive been wondering where I could find some good book-themed podcasts, but havent had a clue where to start!
My pleasure, Michelle. My personal favourite is the Radio National Book Show (hooray for Ramona!), but some of the others are fabulous, too. :)
Nice. I will be checking out your mystery writers website. I love a good mystery novel
I think its time to do an updated version of this post. Its missing my favourite podcast; The Readers
