This week, Powells.com unveils its Bookcast, an online radio show for book lovers. It’s a nifty idea. I think people who love to read but don’t necessarily like to go to readings or have lengthy discussions about the state of fiction will particularly like it. The first episode features a brief chat with Aimee Bender, book news, a contest, and trivia. The site also includes and RSS feed, so you’ll know when there’s a new installment.
