Podcast Pick: Queer Writers of Crime, with Host Brad Shreve
Recently named by BuzzFeed as one of the 20 best LGBTQ podcasts to listen to, Brad Shreve’s Queer Writers of Crime has returned better than ever. After a brief hiatus following his first 100 episodes, host Shreve has brought this essential podcast back for fans of LGBTQ+ mysteries, thrillers and suspense fiction and the authors who write them. Full disclosure: I’m on soon for a second go-round, with a thoroughly enjoyable conversation about books, characters, and point of view.
Recent interviews include the relaunch with author Marshall Thornton, Barbara Wilson on spinster sleuths (yes!), and an encore presentation of an interview with the late, great Richard Stevenson. Fasten your headphones, you won’t want to miss a single episode! You can find them all HERE.
Weekly interviews with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer authors. You’ll get plenty of book recommendations too. There are a bevy of genres of queer fiction, most notably romance, but many readers aren’t aware of the numerous outstanding writers of LGBTQ mystery, suspense, and thriller novels. If that’s you, now you know. Brad Shreve chats with crime authors about their craft but focuses on intimate conversations to help you find your next favorite book.
