Over the years, I’ve added dozens of bookish podcasts to my feed. Some perennial favourites stick around, like What Should I Read Next, and over the last few years I’ve really enjoyed Currently Reading, Reading Glasses, and the Book Club Review. But it’s always fun to discover new ones, with different perspectives on books and the reading life. And there are a lot of new ones these days, no doubt partly inspired by the time we’ve all been spending at home, missing our in-person meetings with fellow bookworms and looking for new ways to connect. I’m here to help you find a few gems among the many bookish podcasts started in 2021. If you’re looking for even more bookish podcasts, check out 6 Great Podcast Author Interviews, 10 Bookish Podcasts for Distancing Yourself from the News, and 13 Must-Hear Librarian Podcasts. And for tips on making your own, check out the piece I wrote about how I started my bookish podcast (and you can, too).
