Latest Book Review Podcast

On air with Nancy and Nate

CommuterLit editor and publisher Nancy Kay Clark (left) has a book review podcast with her young adult son Nathan Bennet (right), called with radical clarity, Mom and Son Book Reviews. As they are both great fans of sci fi and speculative fiction, they concentrate on reviewing novels, short-story collections and graphic novels, both new and not-so-new, in those genres.

Check out the latest podcast.
