IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FLIP A PAGE , LISTEN TO A PODCAST : MISSREADER RECOMMENDS

Every book lover knows a good podcast when listening to one! Here's mine!

Maybe your not in the mood for flipping pages. Or maybe you just want to listen to the soothing voice of a storyteller while enjoying your afternoon walk (watch out for a Joe Gilbert). 

Whatever the reason may be, having a list of ready-to-go podcasts is always useful when there is no book in sight and there a few hours to kill. 

 

In this fun-made post, I'll be listing a few choices which can suit even the most undecided reader!

 

Let the catalogue begin!

 

Get Booked by BookRiot:

Coming for you from BookRiot, this is a podcast where my darling book lovers can ask for any book recommendations for anything they want. Whether you are getting ready to hop on a plane or visiting your dentist (am I the only one who fears them ? ), having a reading pick standing by is always a great idea. And the hosts, Amanda and Jenn, are simply amazing!

 

 

By the Book:

Hosts Kristen and Jolenta, in each episode, they pick a self-help book and as an old phrase says, " live by the book". Meaning that these two lovely women spend the time within two weeks to live along with the rules of the books and in the end, they make a recap of how that experience has changed them. Feel like you can pop your opinion? Join in the fun!

Fictional:

Are you a fan of classics? Then you should impatiently subscribe to this podcast! 

By reading beautiful pieces of classic literature and retelling them in a soft and modern way, you get to enjoy your favourite books in the best way possible -from Frankenstein to Weathering Heights -   and especially if you are like me, the nerdy, bookaholic high school loner! 

                         The cover is everything! 

 

Black Chic Lit:

Even now with the #blackklivesmatter movement, this podcast comes in handy for anyone who is looking forward to supporting black creators.

 

Hosted by Mollie and Dani, spend their episodes discussing books written by black authors like the best-seller "The Hate U Give". 

Somedays you might get like and drink a glass of red wine, just like these two hosts!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Books and Boba: 

Cant' resist the taste? Do you wanna get into the Asian culture of reading? 

Hosts Reera and Marvin discuss books that are either reading now or simply have a desire to while interviewing authors and talking all about the book community!  You can enjoy everything, from thrillers to YA fiction. 

 

 Drunk Booksellers:

If you are one of those who love to read and sip, then you should definitely subscribe to this podcast! In this podcast, Emma and Kim interview fellow booksellers around America, talking favourite books and the industry in general — while sipping on literary-themed drinks, of course.

 

Bookworm:

In this podcast, again, Joe and Mike spend two weeks reading various self-help books and then discuss how they can apply these to their real lives. Also, they also have an online group where you can talk with other fans about how they’ve incorporated these books into their lives.

 

 Reading Woman:

Now, this is one of my favourite ones on this list since I am a lover of any kind of women's fiction!  Hosts Kendra and Autumn are here to reclaim their half of the shelf when it comes to false beliefs around women’s literature. Each month, they read books by women of all backgrounds from a different selected theme or topic. Then they discuss à la book club style. Girls gather in! 

The Poetry Gods:

Am I the only one who loves poetry?

Hosted by three poets — Aziza, José, and Jon — this podcast interviews different poets about their work and lives. But be alarmed - NOT your college’s poetry class – so get ready for a twist. Loving poetry or not, this podcast makes the discussion lively, funny, and unpretentious. Find new, emerging poets, listen to some original works, and discover more about the craft.

Between the Covers:

In this podcast, host David interviews prominent and emerging contemporary authors. His approach is always thought-provoking, interesting, and sure to allow you to dive deep into the author’s mind as we learn more about the person behind some of our new favourite books. What else do you need? 

The New Yorker - Fiction: 

Host Deborah Treisman, the editor of The New Yorker, takes to this engrossing podcast once a month with a guest to read aloud fiction by famous authors. Each month, she’s joined by a guest to help her discuss the fiction in detail and this is surely something you wouldn't' want to miss! 

Advanced younger readers might also find this podcast appealing and a gateway into reading adult fiction. 

Mostly Lit:

Millennials are often dubbed as the generation who has given up on the written word, but this podcast just goes to prove that there are plenty of people of all ages out there looking to engage with fiction. 

Two men explore what it means to be a millennial who reads while making it a diverse listen each time they release their weekly episodes.

Despite being aimed at the millennial audience, the topics explored can be relatable to anyone in their teenage years and beyond.

Hope this article comes useful to all bookworms out there!

See you soon,
