Bookends with Mattea Roach - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I regularly listen to several book podcasts and have tried many others. Writers and Company is by far the best. Eleanor Wachtel is a wonderful interviewer. She is
very well informed and asks great questions but unlike other interviewers she never tries to compete with her guest or dominate the program. She brings out the best in
authors. Simply a superb show.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking, Elenor is one of the best interviewers I've ever heard. She is deeply versed in her subject matter and as a result asks questions that shed light on the writers as much as their works. She asks questions you wish you had been clever enough to ask yourself, but is never showy or self impressed. I regularly find myself so enamored by the authors that I can't resist their books by the time the podcast ends. Give it a try!

Eleanor Wachtel is a literary treasure. She enters the writers minds with questions that they can only dream to be asked. And their answers are the most intimate, heart felt responses one will ever hear. Eleanor has created an insightful, sensitive and elegant literary salon that we have the privilege of attending every week.

What a great podcast. I listen to every one of them, always meeting new people and launching explorations of authors I have often not met before. Eleanor Wachtel is such a perfect interviewer--so smart, so open, so in touch with her guest. I hope this podcast continues forever!
