Book Podcasts

A lot of linking goes on between bloggers. This is not a criticism, (see the "Blogs I'm Reading" link), since blogging would be lost without its cohorts and myriads of sources. The blogs I read are 98% related to books, and 2% on F1 for something completely different.

What I've noticed is that not that many people link to Podcasts. I've been merrily downloading them for a while now, so thought I might mention they few that I subscribe to: The Book Panel with Simon Mayo seems to be a popular one, reviewing two new books and their authors weekly. The BBC World Service does a World Book Club and tend to interview "heavyweight" authors. The New York Times Book Review podcast also discusses new books, but with more of a US feel about it (as the list of authors often attests). Guardian Unlimited Books mainly focus on authors, but do occasional other topics, such as their Best of 2007. Finally, there's the Penguin Podcasts, both a US and a UK version.

Suggestions for more, anyone?
PS: Does anyone else think it's funny that the Bloglines spell-checker doesn't recognise "bloggers" as a word?
