From the moment host Rohan Raj leans in for a conversation, you sense a curiosity that is both generous and unafraid — exactly the kind you want in a guide through the forest of books that crowd our shelves and screens. The production is lean; the questions are pointed; the guests — whether regional poets, commercial novelists, or yours truly — reveal something about the soul of storytelling. What struck me most was this: Booknerds doesn't just review books. It reveals the logic behind why we pick them, argue about them, live in their pages.

I had the delight of talking about a few of my books recently at Booknerds Podcast, one of the leading literary platforms in India. Rohan, as the platform's cofounder and a seasoned podcaster, is always very encouraging of literary endeavours and new authors. The way he reviews the books and stories on his podcast is truly insightful.

Rohan interviewed me for his BookNerds podcast. He made sure to read my book beforehand, did a deep dive of the book and made sure to ask me hard-hitting and meticulous questions about my journey featured in my book 'Wealthy Moves'. I had a really fun time talking to Rohan and the entire process from being approached to the conduction of the podcast was extremely organized.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Rohan on his Booknerds Podcast last year. It was a truly wonderful experience working with him on it. Rohan is one of the few people who are passionate about what they do and his passion is so contagious that it rubs off on you. He is very experienced in researching the topics and themes for his podcast and that is what makes the Booknerds Podcast stand out from the many others out there.

I happen to meet Rohan on LinkedIn and since then I have been following his podcast show. This is the best podcast and in a very different niche. The questions are curated really well and are so thoughtful. It is not just about hosting an author but to know the entire process of why that book is written in the first place for which he takes a lot of efforts. His candid way of hosting makes this show to stand out. Keep up the good work. 😊

Love how the podcast starts with the best episode title and content - how to start reading. What follows is a string of pragmatic advices! I love how the format switches between a discussion between friends, to interviewing authors. As a devout listener, my two cents of requests would be - please post consistently and keep a balance of both kind of episodes - interviews and informational ones 😊

I won't call myself a Booknerd but since I am not I rely on podcast hosts like Rohan Raj to bring me the best from the literary world so that when I pick my read for the month, I know what to get. A perfect podcast to learn more about the all the behind the scenes of authoring a book which intrigues me to go ahead and read the book.
