High end literary conversations

“I’m new to Backlisted but it already feels like a podcast I could settle in with for a long, leisurely listen. The whole project is a terrific antidote to a tendency to fixate on the the past five minutes, or indeed the next five minutes. This program isn’t selling anything, save for lively conversation and a great love of good writing. The podcast draws upon decades of reading and reflection, and seems to effortlessly entertain and inform. They’re not above a little bit of literary gossip, either, which is nice. The conversations are enthusiastic without being gushing. The episode on Anita Brookner is a case in point. And while each episode has a focus, you will find any number of other books and writers getting a mention. Also worth noting is the use of added audio clips, which gives a richer texture. And crucially, the presenters are not afraid to read aloud from the books, which of course is what it is all about. In short, a gem.”

“Backlisted has become one of my favorite book related podcasts. It’s warm, funny, and intelligent. And it’s got me reading Georgette Heyer romances! Would love a discussion on Anthony Powell (What became of Waring) or Harold Nicholson’s Public Faces or anything by Dorothy Sayers.”
