Big Book Club Podcast

A Monthly Podcast for Book Lovers

covers of 14 books with the words Big Book Club

Each month on the podcast our librarian-bibliophile hosts share their insights and reactions to popular books, books in the news, classics worth a second look, and titles coming to a theater near you - the books Arlington readers are talking about, and will be talking about.

  • Do you love to read and think about books?
  • Do you want to join a book club but don't have time?
  • Did you finish a book you loved, but don't have anyone to talk with?

The Big Book Club Podcast is for you!

It doesn't matter whether you read the book with us, have read it in the past, or just want to hear what our hosts think - there is no wrong way to participate.

Warning: there will be spoilers! So if you don't want to know what happens in a particular book, save that episode until after you've finished reading.

Listen To Our Latest Episode

Ep.7: "King Lear" & "Fool"

Want to Talk About the Books?

You can join the conversation each month with fellow listeners:

  • On our Facebook group
  • On our Goodreads group
  • On Twitter with the hashtag #BigBookPodcast

What Should We Read Next?

Suggest a book for the Big Book Club Podcast to read on an upcoming episode. All recommendations will be considered! Titles for the podcast will be chosen based on availability in the Library catalog and the Big Book Club's overall reading schedule.

Big Book Club Podcast: Reading Suggestions

  • If your suggested book is not in the Library catalog, include a link to another website
  • Is it science fiction, detective, fantasy, noir, humor, mythology, romance, western, nautical fiction, speculative fiction, dystopian, climate fiction, mystery, techno-thriller, or something else? Be as specific as you can!
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
