Book Gang - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Amy Allen Clark’s Book Gang is everything I want in a literary podcast—thoughtful, dynamic, and refreshingly honest. Amy has a gift for asking the kinds of questions that go beyond the surface and really get to the emotional heart of a book. Her preparation and genuine curiosity make each conversation feel intimate and illuminating.

What sets this podcast apart, though, is Amy herself. She’s not just a brilliant host—she’s a connector. After I appeared on Book Gang, she introduced me to fellow debut author Sarah Damoff, and that connection has blossomed into a beautiful friendship and creative kinship. That’s the kind of community Amy cultivates, and it makes this space feel truly special.

Whether you’re a lifelong reader, an aspiring writer, or just someone who loves hearing smart people talk about meaningful stories—this podcast is a must-listen.

The Book Gang podcast has definitely become one of my favorite reading-related podcasts! If, like me, you like a mix of contemporary fiction, historical fiction and memoirs, this might be the podcast for you! The host does wonderful and thoughtful author interviews too.

Amy does such a fantastic job and her interviews with the authors are so engaging that this podcast is great whether or not you’ve read the book. I definitely want to read the book every time after listening however!!

I’m so grateful for all the wonderful interviews Amy brings us, and having had the privilege of being a guest, I can say that her questions are some of the most thoughtful and profound out there. She facilitates such rich and beautiful conversations, and I will eagerly be watching for every new episode to drop!
