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
Oh, that sounds like fun, choosing next years books. Thanks for reading and for passing it on to your book club friends. Also, I know I still owe you information about historical fiction, I haven't forgotten, my plan it to respond this weekend.
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.

I'll have to check that one out as I don't think I've listened to it before. Thanks for reading.
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
Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate you :)

NP this is a VERY busy time of year. I may share our selection list in one of my posts soon.
Please do write about it as I'd love to hear what your books are for next year.
I will. The voting is closed today so I will have the list soon. It will be an easy post. Our next book (our last for 2021) is Caste.

I didn't know you had a podcast but I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
I often listen to From the Front Porch (I skip their casting call episodes) and Currently Reading and, of course, WSIRN
I listen to a few of From the Front Porch. The same for Currently Reading. I listen to all of WSIRN. I loved One Great Book because that was so short.
One Great Book is good when it’s available!
