If you have ever been to My Porch before, you have also probably been over to Savidge Reads. Simon Savidges’s blog was one of the first blogs I stumbled across as I began to discover the book blogging world. Well, Simon is a busy, busy boy and has about a million bookish endeavors going on at any given time. Among his more impressive efforts has been his ongoing podcasts. One, called You Wrote the Book, has Simon interviewing all sorts of interesting authors (including the wonderful Maggie O’Farrell). The other, called The Readers, is a cavalcade of book based banter with book blogger Gavin.
That is until now.
Gavin has decided to take a bit of a podcasting sabbatical. Into the gaping breach, yes, that’s right, Simon asked me if I would join him in his fortnightly podcast. So last week was the first episode of The Readers featuring yours truly (episode 81). I had a ton of fun recording it with Simon and can’t wait to record the next one. Hopefully listeners will have fun as well.

Very cool!! It was neat to hear your voice. Your voice matches what I hear in my head when I read your blog.

Just finished listening, and really enjoyed it. It's always nice to put a voice with a face. I commented over there (and even gave you an author to try), and will have to be a better listener. Must try to figure out the iTunes subscription thing. It proved to be the perfect Friday afternoon activity for me today. Looking forward to more – have a great weekend!
