The Readings Podcast

Booking Overview

This is a weekly books-and-culture interview podcast featuring authors, illustrators, journalists, booksellers, and publishing voices, usually in connection with a new book or literary event. PR agencies could credibly pitch authors, illustrators, literary and cultural critics, music writers, and publishing experts with a timely release or strong books-world expertise; booking difficulty is low to medium because the show regularly features promotional book conversations.
