A regular, and often inspiring, part of the Richmond Writing Group meetings, are the one hour author talks we hold at the beginning of some sessions. Here is a selection of wonderful author talks you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.
- Books & Authors on RNZ - Listen to authors talking about their books in this fantastic, regularly updated selection on Radio New Zealand's website.
- Verb Wellington - Listen to literary podcasts about topics such as Growing up Wāhine Māori, and read essays, short stories and a reading list or two.
- Auckland Readers & Writers 2021 - When Covid-19 hit, the festival went online. Listen to great podcasts featuring luminaries such as NZ historian Claudia Orange, Vincent O'Sullivan talking about Ralph Hotere and more.
- The Guardian Books Podcast - This is a weekly look at the world of books, including in-depth interviews with authors from all over the world, discussions and investigations.
- BBC4 Books & Authors - This podcast features Open Book and A Good Read. In Open Book Mariella Frostrup talks to authors about their work. In A Good Read Harriett Gilbert discusses favourite books.
