NPR's Book of the Day

I listen to maybe 3-4 episodes a week and have for a year or so. I have read many a book based on their recommendations. I would recommend this podcast but it IS biased left or progressive. I would like to see it less focused on minorities opinions because npr was too white for awhile. I said it. As a biracial American. I am left, I vote progressive. But we cannot exist in a bubble in an echo chamber, Correct? Do what is right and have more diverse opinions on. And that does not mean every minority that punishes a book. Cause that’s how it feels at times. From a loyal listener. Thank you.

Great variety of books, wonderful interviews, something for everyone. Wonderfully soothing - engages just the right parts of your brain!

The interviews are short and sweet (often because they are pulled from other longer NPR shows). The topics are wide ranging from cookbooks, to memoirs, to fiction, to autobiographies, to children’s books. If you read the reviews from the people who have given low ratings, you’ll see the pattern of their thought process and realize that instead of moving on to find a book podcast that caters to their narrow mental needs, they chose negativity. It’s free to listen but it’s also free to not-listen. If you don’t have a closed mind, you’ll likely appreciate the book recommendations that can widen your horizons.

I thought the podcast with Pelosi should have been about the book. That’s why we listen to this podcast. Instead the interviewer took the opportunity to ask political questions over and over. Very unsavory.
