I seem to have a few little breaks on the blog but during this break I’ve been working with Simon Savidge from Savidge reads on a new podcast. We’ve talked about it podcasts for a while and we did one to celebrate the announcement of The Green Carnation Prize. We really enjoyed doing it and we’ve spent the last couple of weeks talking about it and preparing for our new podcasting project.

And I’m very pleased to present:

The Readers is a podcast of book based banter we are going to fill it with news from around the book world, bookish debates and discussions, interviews with authors, bloggers and people in publishing. The funny thing is that if you have a look at Simon’s blog and then compare our tastes we do touch in a few places but our passions vary and I think that’s going to bring a bit of spice to our discussions.

I’m really looking forward to catching up on my lit fic and converting Simon to the dark side.

Episode 1 is already up on iTunes and you can also listen to it on the blog. Though in episode 2 I’m going to try and sound less god-like (too much reverb!)
