This podcast keeps me in the know about upcoming books more than any other. Joe and the rest of the OverDrive team (shoutout to Emma and Meghan!) are so charming as they break down what you should be paying attention in the book world. Really appreciate the breadth of the books they feature, too. Give this one a listen if you can't figure out what to read next!
Great book recommendations!

This is hands down my favorite book podcast. I eagerly await the monthly episodes that discuss upcoming releases. Joe and Emma give a wide range of recommendations and I can always find something that I’m interested in. I’ve learned about a lot of books and authors that I wouldn’t otherwise know about. Plus, they are a joy to listen to!
Favorite book podcast!

This is my favorite bookish podcast out there and I’ve searched through a lot! I love love love all the hosts and I always leave their monthly roundups with at least 3 additions to my TBR list! I am now going through their backlist and listening to monthly biggest book episodes from last year to get me through the wait for the next. Highly highly recommend.
Great Bookish Pod
