ADD COMMENT
Bookpod.org is a weekly podcast of audio essays by novelists, memoirists, playwrights and non-fiction writers of lasting value.
Participating authors may hold any political or literary point of view as long as they do not advocate murder or the eradication of peoples and nations. Bookpod's goal is to create a gallery of voices ready to engage in a literary, political and humane dialogue.
Interviews are conducted in person or via Skype/landline phone. Conversations are digitally recorded and take about twenty minutes. Editing is done by Barbara Finkelstein, Bookpod curator, to create a five-minute audio essay in mp3 format. Each audio essay is in the voice of the interviewee. It includes a brief introduction as well as a valedictory that offers additional information about the author. Royalty-free music is by Kevin MacLeod.
New episodes appear each Monday at 10:00 a.m. (NYC time). Additional weekly content includes a short blog post; a sketch/cartoon; links to book-related news stories, and links to Web caprices. Bookpod publishes 48 times a year.
Publication of audio essays is at the discretion of the series producer. Once essays appear online, authors, newspapers and bloggers are free to link to them for publicity or educational purposes. Book retailers, publishers, not-for-profits and commercial enterprises may contact barbara@bookpod.org to discuss advertising rates.
All Bookpod audio essays and blog posts are copyrighted by Barbara Finkelstein. Sketches/cartoons are the property of individual artists and are published with their permission.
Writers who wish to be part of Bookpod may send an e-mail to barbara@bookpod.org. Include "Request for podcast interview" in the subject line. Only published writers will be considered for interviews. Self-help topics are not included in Bookpod.
