“I want to listen to podcasts published long ago (2019, 2023) which are available on web page but not searchable in Apple Podcasts.”

“Ari Barbalat is an absolutely terrible host and for some reason he hosts half the shows on the channel now. Used to be a great channel, not anymore”

“At times, I miss the far reaching, less socio-political subjects that were more common in years previous, but overall what a wonderful resource.”

“This is my library, I got to it to keep up with new academic books, it saves time and introduce the listeners to the authors behind the books.”

“A collection of all the network's other channels, everything from neuroscience to history to religion. The result is a firehose of interviews with researchers, academics, authors, and others who talk about their latest publication or project in detail. The publications range from high-level...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast and am very grateful for it. I have purchased so many books I have learned about through this podcast. I was thinking the other day as I went to purchase a book I learned about here that there should be a code we can type as opposed to having to click through the links or...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to several channels for a couple of years now, and I’ve learned a lot. As a busy academic, I appreciate the opportunity to hear about new books that I may not have time to read. The usual length is about 45 minutes, which allows for the author to go into the book’s main arguments in...”Read full review »

“Every interview allows an expert to talk about what they know, at length, with just a few questions to keep it going. Totally different from most other podcasts, where the host dominates the conversation. You can learn a lot. If you find the sound quality for one interview is poor or the subject...”Read full review »

“I love the books but most of the interviews are painful to listen to. I would hate to stop listening but really can’t tolerate the bad sound—there is no excuse for this.”

“I can’t believe I’ve only just now stumbled upon this podcast! I’ve always wanted to read more, but it can be hard to find time to get through a whole book with so many other obligations. Now I can get introduced to new books while walking outside or while I’m commuting. The number of episodes...”Read full review »

“There is little excuse for the terrible production values. Sometimes all you need to do is equalize the vol. or tell your guest not to shuffle everything on their desk.”

“The New Books podcast is a great idea that is poorly executed.
Some of the most inept interviewers you will ever hear are the hosts of these podcasts.
If you are listening to these podcasts in the hope of learning what the book is about, you often will be disappointed.
Interviewer mistakes...”Read full review »

“There are several books in political science that I heard about first through this podcast. In one case, I wound up using it in a class that started a month after the podcast, and in another I assembled an APSA panel on the book. Without the podcast, it takes the profession longer to have timely...”Read full review »

“Such great content; can’t get anywhere else via podcast. But when I’m about to begin listening, I know there’s a 75% chance of audio problems. I think the interviewer was typing the whole time on the last one in between questions. Very wierd and persistent audio problems for years.”

“The new books network is consistently filled with fascinating original interviews with a wide array of writers and academics who have changed the ways I think about a number of fields and sparked many lines of inquiry. Many of the interviewers and very skilled and I especially appreciate the...”Read full review »

“Please invest in some better recording equipment, the wonderful content is almost unlistenable.
If you do these remotely, consider using teamspeak3. In any event, something has to change, it's sad to see such great interviews being presented as tinny, compressed, warbled sound.
I will...”Read full review »

“I've found a lot of good books through this podcast. Some, I've read and enjoyed. In cases where I don't have time to read the book, I still learn a lot about the author and the ideas from the interviews. They focus on scholarly and academic works and literary novels. Strongly...”Read full review »
