Between The Covers : Conversations with Writers in Fiction, Nonfiction & Poetry - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Host David Naimon is the deepest and most widely informed reader … I don’t know how he does it. I guess his love of what writing can do takes him so far and wide. I love seeing a new show in my feed, and knowing I’ll be on a rangy adventure that will have me buying books and sharing the show. I used to get annoyed with his long intros and longer questions, thinking him self-absorbed, but after listening to a couple of shows, I was hooked. His questions are long because his thinking is deep and his preparation vast and because THERE IS A LOT TO SAY. David is committed to frank exploration of difficult topics, so if your mind is not open, don’t bother.

Such a thoughtful, intelligent, and humane offering to listeners about how to live in this world and how to relate to one another with sensitivity and care. I know of no other podcast where I am so routinely awakened to a new way of being in the world.

Such a wonderful podcast replete with hearty and engaging literary conversations! I learn so much each episode. I happily signed up as a Patreon subscriber for more literary content and context.

Love David’s deep interviewing style and close reading ethos. Keep up the excellent work, David!

David is the most thoughtful & present interviewer. He and guests both bring forward such incredible insights & wisdom in each conversation. Listening to this show makes me a more attentive reader, a more inspired creative, and a more hopeful human in general!
