Another good one is The New Yorker: Fiction. A guest chooses a story from the magazine's archive to read aloud and discuss.

Also, if you enjoy listening to people discussing the lives of writers, it's worth checking the archives of Matthew Parris's Great Lives series and Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time.

Why not download an audio book? If you Google you will find out what is available free for your device.

BBC's A Good Read, Open Book and World Book Club have a huge archive of podcasts to download.

Thank you maryeliza54. I will have a look at those suggestions and see what they're about smile I also love reading fiction so wonder if there are any good podcasts on books?

It depends what you enjoy listening to really - I tend to have podcasts of programmes like File on 4, Analysis, Thinking Aloud, Round Britain Quiz for train/ car journeys
