Read, Write, Think - The Read, Write, Think website includes Emily Manning's podcast "Chatting with Books." You can subscribe to it through I-tunes.  She chats with kids, parents, and teachers about the best in children’s literature for ages 4-11. In each podcast, she typically interviews a popular author as well.  I’ve found many new books for my kids (and myself) through this podcast series.
