This is a wonderful podcast - one of the best literary ones out there. Host is thoughtful, knowledgeable and engaged. He peppers his interviews with explanatory asides and it never feels wooden or scripted. Thank you!

I love this podcast! Michael always has interesting authors. He is knowledgeable, respectful, and has a delightful wit! Huge Minnesota fan!!

Michael is such a sensitive and insightful reader and interviewer. This is one of my favorite book podcasts.

Enjoy the thoughtful questions Michael Williams asks of his guests, leading to candid, insightful. conversations. Happy to learn of works by Australian writers and share recommendations with my book group. Be sure to go back and listen to episode with my favorite writer, George Saunders. I’ve heard many and Michael’s was the best! Add Read This to your podcast library and listen weekly!
