Some exciting news today as we hear that Graham Norton is launching his own book club podcast exclusively through Audible, and it’s to feature some exciting guests! The Graham Norton Book Club will be available as a podcast from 13th May 2021, and features the Irish TV star and writer in conversation with some well-known audiobook narrators, and authors, talking all things literature, audiobooks, and more!
Graham Norton is a big name himself, both as celebrity and novelist, and already earmarked to appear on the show are guests Maxine Peake, Zadie Smith, Stephen Mangan, Denise Mina, and Juliet Stevenson. Each episode Norton will present with an alternate co-host and they are literature journalist Alex Clar, and author Sara Collins who will bring a news and views element to the new book club podcast.
The books for this ten episode series have not yet been revealed but will be varied and encompass all kinds of literature from thrillers to romance, and more.
The bookclub launch will be marked at a virtual event for the Hay Festival on 30th May and on that date Norton will interview Marian Keyes, and Richard Osman, discussing writing experiences and narrating your own audiobook.
With Graham Norton’s charisma, and books, books, books, what’s not to love?
This Podcast will be available via Audible and if you’d like to check it out you can try Audible for free here.
