We are thrilled to announce The University of Arizona Press Podcast on The New Books Network (NBN)! NBN hosts have interviewed our authors about new books for more than ten years, and now we have officially partnered with the Network, creating a dedicated channel of our past and forthcoming author interviews.
Recently, the NBN featured an interview with Enrique C. Ochoa, author of México Between Feast and Famine. Andrew Canessa and Manuela Lavinas Picq were interviewed about their book, Savages and Citizens. Last year, NBN interviewed Ricardo Quintana-Vallejo, author of Growing Up in the Gutter.
Wondering if you can hear your favorite author on the pod? Check out the complete list of interviews with U of A Press authors. Podcasts are available on the New Books Network website, Apple , Spotify, or wherever you find your podcasts.
The New Books Network is a consortium of author-interview podcast channels dedicated to public education. Covering more than one hundred subjects, disciplines, and genres, NBN publishes seventy to one hundred episodes a week. The Network reaches about 250,000 people every month; listeners download close to 850,000 episodes each month.
Kathryn Conrad, director of The University of Arizona Press said, “We’re excited to collaborate with New Books Network to introduce our authors to new readers. Podcasts also give educators another resource to enrich the discussion of our books in their classrooms.”
Caleb Zakarin, editor of The New Books Network, said, “The University of Arizona Press publishes across many disciplines that are of great interest to our listeners. I have personally enjoyed my interviews with U of A Press authors and look forward to many more in the future.”
In the Fall, listen for interviews with authors of forthcoming books: Kip Hutchins, author of A Song for the Horses, and Joe Watkins, author of Indigenizing Japan.
Watch this space and our social media, we’ll let you know when new podcasts drop.
