Book Riot- The Podcast is an awesome bookish podcast hosted by Rebecca Schinsky and Jeff O’Neill. Per their intro, this podcast is “a weekly news and talk show about what’s new, cool, and worth talking about in the world of books and reading.”
Let’s dive in!
My Thoughts on The Book Riot Podcast
While the hosts mainly discuss things that are going on in the book world, they also have a ton of special features like book recommendations for special times of the year (like holidays or graduation season), best of lists, buy/sell/hold features, specific book discussions for just one title per episode, adaptation discussions, and much more!
I really enjoy this podcast because it helps me to stay on top of bookish news. I really appreciate that the hosts break down the news stories and fully talk them through to both explain what exactly the story means and what their personal thoughts about it are. And of course, as an analytics person, I really appreciate that they discuss and break down statistics every now and again.
If you would like to stay updated on the latest news in the bookish world as a whole, I highly recommend checking this one out!
I think I’ve listened to the general book riot podcast. I usually get my news from the romance branch – When in Romance.
I love that they have different shows for different genres! 🙂
I’ve been meaning to listen to it. It’s on my list. I do enjoy their nonfiction podcast too.
I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Sounds like a fun podcast. I’d enjoy the various bookish news I’m sure.
