Chatter on Books(COB)is a 45 minute podcast that steals its format liberally from ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, The Tony Kornheiser Show and NPR’s Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me, applying that irreverence to interesting and entertaining books and authors. COB features host Torie Clarke and regulars Jeanne McManus, David Aldridge and Michael Kornheiser.  Over burgers and beer or wine, they debate the best sellers of the week, interview leading authors about life, politics, sports and entertainment and generally pontificate about matters large and small.
