Well, hello, Bibliolatrist. Welcome to 2007.

It seems I've just discovered the podcast. Sure, I've heard about podcasts before, but I never actually listened to one. More importantly, I've just learned that there are podcasts about books. Egads, what an idea. (Yes, yes, I'm behind the times, whatever.)

Anyway, like a kid in a candy store, I subscribed to as many as I could find, and I have to say I'm enjoying them all. I don't know how to link to them from here, but if you enter the title in iTunes (or whatever it is you use), you should probably find it easily enough.

Enjoy!

If you know of any other interesting podcasts that I haven't listed here, please suggest them in the comments. Thanks!

Ah, the wonder of podcasts...

I quite like Fiction in podcast form, as opposed to commentary...

www.podiobooks.com is *the* place for fiction (they have whole books over there), and you may know how I feel about Escape Pod. The Great Corey Doctorow also has a great site called Craphound.

A website called Starship Sofa is also quite good for SF commentary, but I cant get past the accents.

And.. Of course.. LMWN has posted it's first audio-file today.
