Thanks for the recommendations, all of which sound like worthy listening. I'm a big fan of The Book Review podcast from the New York Times. Often there's a good interview or two, plus book news. At the end, NYT reviewers discuss what they're reading, and sometimes I find there's something they mention that appeals to me.
I have been enjoying your Newsletter and intend to pass it on to the members of my bookclub tonight. It should be a HIGH ATTENDANCE night as we are announcing the books to read for next year! Thanks for the previews
Well of course **coughs modestly** there’s our own podcast, Two Chairs Talking, in which Perry Middlemiss and myself, two ex-chairmen of the World Science Fiction Convention, talk about books in a variety of genres. Every so often, as in the last episode, we do a feature called “The Hugo Time Machine” where we go back in time and look at the nominees for the Hugo Award in a particular year. We’ve reached 1967, when Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” won over some arguably better novels.

There is so much value in each of your newsletters! I rarely listen to podcasts but it's good to know where to look when i am ready

I often listen to From the Front Porch (I skip their casting call episodes) and Currently Reading and, of course, WSIRN
