Jennifer Weiner podcast
Jennifer Weiner did an author event at the Free Library in Philadelphia early this month to promote Certain Girls.
For those of us who missed it, the library has very kindly made it available as a podcast. Woo-hoo! Jennifer's says (on her blog): "Download, and hear me talk about the Jew thing, balancing work and motherhood, and why you should never try to breast-feed in a sweater dress."

Jennifer Crusie, Lani Diane Rich and Anne Stewart podcast
We've recommended the Will Write For Wine podcast before, but this week's episode deserves a special mention.
Lani Diane Rich, Jenny Crusie and Anne Stewart get together at Jenny's house in Ohio and talk about collaboration (and wine, of course). Since Jenny and Anne worked together on The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes (with Eileen Dreyer) and they are all currently working on Dogs & Goddesses, they've got a lot to say...
What are you waiting for? Go listen!

Jen Lancaster podcast
How I love Jen Lancaster. I can't wait for her next book (even though, from reading her blog, I know she hasn't even finished writing it yet). In the meantime, I can listen to this Penguin Podcast in which she reads from Bitter Is the New Black.
Also featured on the podcast is Emma Campbell-Webster, the English author of Lost In Austen: Create Your Own Jane Austen Adventure, which sounds completely fabulous (and apparently has nothing to do with this).

Grammar Girl Mignon Fogarty's quick and dirty audiobook!
As a podcast fan, I've been aware of the Grammar Girl phenomenon for some time. If you're not, here's the scoop: it's a hugely popular website and podcast where grammar expert Mignon Fogarty (yes) gives her "quick and dirty tips for better writing". There's actually nothing dirty about it, it's just good grammar sense, delivered in a fun and intelligent way.
Which is probably why Oprah recently had Mignon on her show to explain the accept/except and lie/lay distinctions, among other points of English. According to Galleycat, the Oprah experience has created huge demand for the book Fogarty will release next year. To take advantage, she's mixed an audio version herself in super-fast time and it's available now via her site.

Amazon.com launches a podcast, Amazon founder launches rocket?
It's all going on in Amazon-related shenanigans! When I read that the founder of Amazon.com had bought a rocket I began to realise I HAD been spending too much money there. Independents here I come! Maybe...
The good news is you can now listen to all things Amazon, for free - they've launched a new monthly podcast called Amazon Wire, "an original, free podcast about books, music, movies, and those who create them." Sounds fun, no? You can download it or stream it via the site, and the first episode focuses on the best books, films and music of 2006.
