40+ best book review podcasts of 2024.
You might have heard about Bookstagram, BookTok, and BookTube, but have you found your favorite bookish podcast yet? With over a third of the worldâs population turning to reading during the Coronavirus pandemic, podcasting in general, and podcasts about books specifically, are seeing a huge boom.
With plenty of book podcasts and reading clubs to choose from, weâve scoured the airwaves and curated more than 40 of the best podcasts that entertain, inspire, review , and â most importantly â recommend the best books for your reading pleasure.
General book review podcasts
Letâs start with the giants, these podcasts are big and talk about all things books, from literary fiction to niche nonfiction. The books come from both big trad publishers and little indie presses and what ultimately ties them together is the stories at the heart of it all, the experiences of the authors, and the advice we all wish weâd heard earlier.Â
1. The Maris Review
Hosted by the cultural critic and bestselling author of Slaughterhouse 90210 , Maris Kreizman, the Maris Review  goes beyond the book covers and tries to get to the core of what inspires authors, from films, to music, to popular phenomena.
Coming to the microphone with warmth, depth of knowledge, and thoughtfulness, Marisâ goal is to let her guests shine and she has a true gift for pulling each morsel of literary goodness from her guests, one succulent bite at a time. Listening to the Maris Review will solidify your love for reading and instill an insatiable hunger for more books â RIP your TBR list.

Despite the podcast name, Mike Ingram and Tom McAllister are good friends, writers, and long-time editors for Barrelhouse literary magazine and publisher.

4. The LRB Podcast
Decreed the âleading magazine of culture and ideas of Europeâ, the London Review of Books podcast is a weekly conversation on literature hosted by Thomas Jones and Malin Hay. Often joined by their editors across the pond and other writerly guests, the hosts dive deep into the question of what makes great literature great .
With a goal to enliven and enrich their audience, the show is like waking your brain up with a (legal) stimulus better than coffee. From looking at how Ovid influenced the writing of Chaucer to how we can understand contemporary giants like David Foster Wallace through the lens of #MeToo, no work or angle is left unturned with LRB. Youâll find yourself relistening to episodes not just for the joy the podcast brings, but to sharpen your own critical reading and appreciation for the written word.Â

5. The Worst Bestsellers
Writer Kait and librarian Renata read books so you donât have to. Well, thatâs not quite true. Intrigued by the appeal of bestsellers, the two read the latest âBig Thingâ to try to understand what people love about them, and maybe, what you could love too â or why you might want to avoid it.Â
Filled with plenty of humor and joy, Kait and Renata invite listeners into their cozy space and ask themselves âHow did this get made?â or âHow is something so questionable in quality this big ?â. Swearing theyâre not snobs, they read everything with an open yet critical mind and are quick to indulge in a laugh at the bookâs expense,never the reader.Â

The 10 Best Book Podcasts
F or a solo pastime, reading can also be a rather social activity. Indeed, many of us love talking about books just as much as reading them, which helps explain why podcasts about books are so plentiful. But for all the choice, the book podcast genre is starved for innovation. Author interviews, although inspiring, quickly become repetitive. And many shows feature the same guests promoting the same books. To remedy this, some podcasts begin with an enticing conceit â Book fights! Desert island novels!â but these ideas are often revealed as gimmicks. Others, merely dull. Just as reading shouldnât be a chore, neither should listening to a podcast.
Rather than dwell on tired formats, we should tune into the shows that make us feel zealous about reading. As well, book podcasts allow us glimpses of other peopleâs shelves, creating a sense of community with readers that weâd never otherwise meet. What better way to find your next great read? With all of this in mind, here are the best book podcasts to get you excited about reading.
Borrowed , despite its name, feels original. Plenty of public libraries now have their own podcasts. Many of them are excellent, like those from the NYPL . Borrowed , by the Brooklyn Public Library, does things a bit differently. The show has moved away from interviews and book reviews to deliver stories sourced from its local community, stories like the history of Black womenâs suffrage, why Brooklyn produces so many great writers, and tales from the library itself, asking that question weâve all been dying to have answered: âWhat do librarians do all day? â In a similar political vein, the showâs latest episodes focus on banned books. You donât have to live in Brooklyn to enjoy Borrowed, as each episode comes with its own curated book list, making the show a great resource that reminds us why we must fight to keep public libraries open.
Hosted by writer Adam Vitcavage, the book podcast Debutiful is a show celebrating the strange, thrilling, and often terrifying experience of being a debut novelist. Listening to an interview with an author still wet around the ears is a gratifying experience. Sure, missing will be those pearls of wisdom that only come from writers who have been working for decades, but these newbies add an essential perspective on contemporary fiction. Fresh voices like Brandon Taylor, Cherie Jones, and Zak Salhi remind us that great new talent is emerging every day. Vitcavage is a host who believes in his show, making Debutiful a slick and rewarding passion project.
The LRB Podcast
The London Review of Books is a literary institution. In circulation since 1979, the publication has also launched a bookshop in the trendy neighbourhood of Bloomsbury that plays host to many high-profile literary readings. If you consider yourself to be âwell-read,â youâve likely picked up an LRB at least once. Their podcast could have been pretentious. It could have been dry. But through careful curation and the right hosts, the show has become almost canonical in the book podcast genre. Hosts Thomas Jones and Malin Hay discuss all manner of subjects, from current affairs to Agatha Christie. One of the reasons that The LRB Podcast is compelling is that is examines the world from a literary perspective, rather than analyzing books from an outsiderâs vantage. It will appeal to those who still distinguish between the âprivateâ and âpublicâ spheres â or if you have an opinion on George Orwell that has very little to do with whether you enjoyed 1984 .
Whether youâre a defender of the canon or hungry for new literature, everyone has a list of books theyâve been meaning to read but havenât quite got around to. Steinbeck, Austen â heck, have you read The Satanic Verses ? Overdue is a podcast that rescues these sorts of books from your backlog, throwing contemporary literature and childrenâs books in with the classics, even covering high fantasy and cult favorites in the process. But if youâre feeling guilty for never finishing Middlemarch , worry not. Hosts Andrew Cunningham and Craig Getting have no interest in making you feel bad about your literary limitations. Overdue is a celebration, not a critique. And, most importantly, itâs a show packed with humor and insight. You can hear the joy the hosts take from reading radiate through the airwaves â after all, serious literature doesnât need to be a drag. Just watch out for spoilers.
If Books Could Kill
Following the success of Youâre Wrong About and Maintenance Phase , podcaster Michael Hobbes launched his newest show last year to immediate acclaim. If Books Could Kill is a podcasts that debunks popular self-help and âsmart thinkingâ books commonly purchased at airports and quickly discarded at your nearest thrift store. Think Atomic Habits or Rich Dad Poor Dad. With the addition of his pleasantly droll co-host Peter Shamshiri of 5-4 fame, Hobbes has perfected a popular format that could reinvent itself endlessly. As far as independent podcasts go, this is how to launch one. As weâve mentioned before, the quest to âdebunkâ something because it’s harmful is a fair pursuit. Debunking things just because they happen to be popular, however, risks becoming self-indulgent. Nevertheless, If Books Could Kill is one of our favorite launches in recent memory.
Sponsor Terrible Book Club
You know those books that make you ask yourself, “Who could possibly be reading this?” Well, Terrible Book Club probably is. If you’ve ever been morbidly curious about what’s really going on in those cursed pages, join Chris and Paris every other Tuesday to find out!
The New Yorker: Fiction
The New Yorker: Fiction podcast features a monthly reading and conversation with some of the most renowned, exciting, and accomplished writers working today. Interviewed by the magazineâs fiction editor herself, Deborah Treisman, each guest reads a piece of prose â most often a short story â by another author previously published in The New Yorker . This podcast perfectly blends discussion with an exploration of the magazineâs vast archive, providing a pleasurable insight into how writers inspire each other with their work.
NPR’s Book of the Day
NPRâs Book of the Day is a daily show focused on the latest novels, poetry collections, and children’s books, delivering inspiring conversations in the time it takes to drink your morning coffee. The podcast doesnât discriminate against genres, either. Non-fiction, sci-fi, and fantasy books are all considered, allowing the listener (read: me) to expand their literary horizons. As is typical from NPR, the production is smooth. Smoother, even, than your medium roast. If youâre feeling overwhelmed by the pace of our world, Book of the Day is a welcome addition to a slower morning routine.
Backlisted has been around for almost a decade. In that time, it has grown to become one of the most popular book podcasts in the genre. Rather than focusing on the latest releases, the show turns attention to older novels, particularly 19th and 20th-century works. The showâs appeal can be attributed to a few things. Consistency. Knowledgeable guests. Steadily improving cover art. But the thing that keeps listeners coming back is the genuine fondness for literature that is palpable from everyone involved. You can fall in love or rekindle your interest in a novel after finishing an episode â a rare feat, even in a genre abounding with praise for reading.
Book podcasts tend to have two main problems: on the one hand, they can be rambly and unfocused; on the other, they can be so specific that their discussions become dry. Backlisted avoids both of these traps. Hosts John Mitchinson and Andy Miller know their James from their Wharton.
Self-described as âtough love for literature,â I would say that Book Fight pulls no punches, but the hosts would probably make a comment about my use of clichĂ©. Hosts Mike Ingram and Tom McAllister are happy to give critiques, making examples of essays, classic literature, and the occasional contemporary novel for their literary hot takes. Their comments are constructive and, admittedly, often warranted. Their analysis of the legacy of David Foster Wallace is the highlight of their compelling creative nonfiction season, a great example of content that appeals to readers and writers alike. Book Fight has created an active listener community by inviting their audience to respond with their own criticism, a welcome inclusion in the show, if only for comments like this: âI donât agree with everything Mike and Tom say⊠but the opinions are considered, entertaining, and often funny.â
Reading the Room
Every year, at literary festivals around the world, writers and readers gather for talks about books. Itâs a simple format. A moderator offers a vaguely sycophantic line of questioning to a tired contemporary writer who will inevitably dodge the subject to return, once again, to their reading of Freud. Or Marx. Or â well, you get the picture. Nevertheless, the literary scene canât get enough. Some people love talking about reading more than actually reading. If your feed is full of book podcasts, you might be one of them. We donât judge. And the host of Reading the Room wonât either. Host Jaylen Lopez, of YouTube fame, invites literary writers to discuss their latest work in conversations that could be plucked from a sell-out talk at The Strand or Books Are Magic. If you are between literary festivals, Reading the Room will tide you over.

Book review podcasts are an engaging and accessible way to discover new books. Most of us only have so much time to read these days, much less read a book review from our favorite publications, magazines, or blogs. This makes book review podcasts a convenient alternative as you only have to let them run in the background.
Here to look for book review podcasts to listen to while on commute or while doing other stuff at home or work? Look no further because Iâve got lots of them in this list.
These book review podcasts release episodes weekly (or bi-weekly), with an exception to one, feature diverse authors, and underrepresented genres. Whatâs more, some of the book review podcasts below have lively author discussions that allow for authors to tell more about their books, their writerly lives, and their writing process, among other things.
And if thatâs not your cup of tea, there are also shows in here that offer unbiased takes from other folks â without bringing the author into the discussion. Whatever your listening preference is, Iâm sure that you can find podcasts in here that are tailored for your ears.
Ahead are seven of the best book review podcasts to get book recommendations and more.
Thank you for signing up! Keep an eye on your inbox. By signing up you agree to our terms of use
1. All The Books
This is one of Book Riotâs many podcasts that focuses on new releases every week. Sometimes, however, it also features backlist titles in special episodes called “All The Backlists.”
All The Books runs weekly and is hosted by Liberty Hardy and the editors of Book Riot. What I love about the show is that the hosts go in-depth in discussing books. I like the thoughtful commentary they provide to each title, even giving content warnings if there are. Itâs an all-around fun and engaging show!
2. The Book Review by The New York Times
The editors at the New York Times talk about the weekâs top books, what they are reading, some news in the book world, and a whole lot more in this podcast. They interview authors and have them tell more about their books. Episodes usually run 45-50 minutes, but sometimes they go up to an hour.
The show has been going on for some 15 years now, so they have a massive archive to listen to. What I love about it is that they feature prominent authors who provide unique insight on their works and answer questions the readers might have.
3. NPRâs Book of the Day
The show runs less than 15 minutes, so it has the perfect length to get your literary fix quickly, keep abreast of new and interesting books, and more. They also talk to authors in this show, chatting with them about their current releases. Borrowing language of the showâs promo, itâs “snackable and skimmable.” Despite its short length, youâll get to learn a lot from the insightful literary discussions and reviews.
My favorite episodes are when they feature Constance Wu and Celeste Ng.
4. Asian Review of Books
This is a book review publication that focuses on books by Asian authors and books about Asia. In its podcast version, the host talks to authors about their relevant works and also touches on the current issues in the region. I love that this show focuses on authors from a marginalized community, which is kind of rare in bookish podcasts these days.
In here, they mostly discuss fiction and nonfiction books, and the topics can be ânewsyâ and a bit academic.
5. The Sapphic Book Review
This is a unique book review podcast that features sapphic books written by diverse authors. For the uninitiated, sapphic âincludes lesbians, bisexual women, and nonbinary people who align with the termâŠAll lesbian books are sapphic.â
In here, they mostly interview authors, digging deeper about their works. Sometimes, there are casual discussions, too. I love that I get recommended noteworthy books that are not on my radar yet.
6. Fully Booked by Kirkus Reviews
Every week, this show brings in authors for interviews, features the current best-selling titles, and more. When discussing a book, the host mostly quotes from the book reviews published in the magazine itself, and then the author joins the conversation for more context.
Itâs a worthwhile podcast if you want to keep yourself posted with new, notable releases. If you read Kirkus Reviews magazine, then this is a must-listen show.
7. The Stack by Comic Book Club
A podcast dedicated to comics? Thatâs somewhat uncommon. In here, the hosts usually talk about new comic releases. The episodes go over an hour since they discuss titles, issues, artworks, and sometimes, the film counterparts, in depth.
If you read a lot of comics and want to stay in the know, then itâs a no-brainer.
Book review podcasts keep us entertained and at the same time informed of new releases. Since some of us are caught up in our lives, these podcasts make it easier for us to discover new favorites.
If you want more bookish content on audio, here are 33 of the Best Book Podcasts for All Genres and New Bookish Podcasts to Listen to in 2022 .
