What have you been listening to under lockdown?
If you are interested in podcasts by, for and about writers and writing, here are some that may interest you.
If your favourite is not listed here, please list it in the comments section below. Thanks.
One of my favourites is The Creative Penn with Joanna Penn. This is the one I listen to most frequently. She has great guests on every podcast, including bestselling authors, as well as experts in the publishing and self-publishing industries. Plus she talks about other relevant podcasts.
What better way to spend your time than listen to other writers talking about their books? Beats writing, dunnit?
Here are some more book podcasts. These are mostly British. You can get most of these on more than one platform, including Google, Itunes, Apple Podcasts, or SoundCloud, to name a few.
The Guardian Books Podcast
Confessions with Giles Fraser

As most of the above are very white and middle-class (in the British sense), and are woefully lacking in Black authors among their guests, I was so happy to find:
Plus individual podcast episodes:
Ambassador of Hope: Andre Norman.
Armstrong: What Black and White America Must Do Now
From the Black Book Talk Vault: Isabel Wilkerson, The Warmth of Other Suns This also lists lots more podcasts with Black authors.
Most of Oprah's selections do not appeal to me, but you might find a gem:
For more wisdom from Oprah, download: Treasures of the Geniuses of Transformation.
