Book podcasts are booming. On Spotify, you'll find everything from celebrity book clubs to deep dives with bestselling authors. And in markets where audiobooks are available, you can listen to both the podcasts and many of the featured books all in one place. We've rounded up 10 of the most exciting podcasts for readers, with bonus behind-the-scenes insights from two hosts.
Beyond the page What makes the book podcast format unique? We asked Olivia Ponton and Morgann Book to share their perspectives.
For Olivia, host of Booked & Busy, it's about forming a close-knit, cozy community. Starting a book-focused podcast definitely feels more niche, she said, but that's honestly what I love about it! It gives me the chance to connect with my audience on such a personal level through a shared love of reading It's become this cozy space where listeners can hang out, unwind, make new friends, and get to know a side of me that I haven't shared before.
Morgann, who leads Off the Shelf, said the magic lies in having richer, more nuanced discussions that go deeper than the average review. For me, book podcasts are unique because they let me go beyond quick reviews or aesthetic content, Morgann explained. I get to dig into how an author wrote their bestselling book, what was going through their brain on release day, and so much more. That long-form space lets me and my guest bring our personalities to the forefront of the conversation.
That kind of conversation is why book podcasts have inspired passionate followers and turned reading into a vibrant shared experience.
10 book podcasts to queue up From literary legends to social media sensations, here are 10 podcasts to help fuel your reading obsession:

Morgann hosts thoughtful conversations with authors, exploring their creative processes and the stories behind their books. Dream guest? If I could have anyone, dead or alive, on my podcast, it would be Sarah J. Maas. I would love to sit down with her and learn about her writing process.
