A podcast about the books you've been meaning to read. Updates Mondays.
Overdue is a podcast about the books you've been meaning to read. Join Andrew and Craig each week as they tackle a new title from their backlog. Classic literature, obscure plays, goofy murder mysteries: they'll read it all, one overdue book at a time.
In honor of our 10th (!) podcasting anniversary, this month we'll be re-doing some episodes based on books we read way back in the show's early years. This week we revisit our second-ever episode, talking about love, cholera, and the time when both of those things could happen simultaneously.

Secret societies, extraterrestrial cultures, VR games, HARD SCIENCE — Liu Cixin's award-winning novel has it all. It's also set against the backdrop of the Cultural Revolution, grounding the story not only in science but in history as well.

Super-dense fantasy isn't everyone's cup of tea, and even people who enjoy that kind of tea can sometimes find individual cups of tea that aren't to their taste. Still, any book with lion and bird people in it can't be all bad.

Enjoy a bonus episode of our spookiest show-within-a-show yet! We read a selection of eight spooktacular books from R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series, and then we realized there was a movie!
This episode was originally released in November 2022. Some Patreon supporters get longread episodes monthly, but every two months we release them for general consumption.
And our next longread project is SAND BY ME, a reading of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Find out more about how to get these episodes monthly at patreon.com/overduepod.
Natty Bumppo is here to guide you through the wilderness of a Canonical White Guy's famous adventure tale. Maybe he can help us track down why it became the template for some less-than-helpful stereotypes based on dubious historical records.

You've got more Qs and we've got more As! This time around we talk more about our reading habits and our day jobs, our personal achievements in 2022, and the ASMR podcast that could have been.

Are you a spy? If you are, you have to tell us. Are you a 6th grader? Well then, tell us if you identify with Louise Fitzhugh's Harriet, a girl with a keen but (perhaps overly) righteous eye just trying to get through adolescence.

If you like Jane Eyre but you eye Mr. Rochester and his marital history with some skepticism, Wide Sargasso Sea is an entry in the field of “critically acclaimed fanfic” that might speak to you.

Happy Hornydays everyone! We're back with another celebration of the winter solstice and the corresponding need to cuddle up with someone to keep warm. Come with us to a Christmas village where a Christmas cop hooks up with a Christmas cop-out.

The "cold" in this classic spy novel is a metaphor, but it's still a chilling book for a chilly season! If you like double-, triple-, and possible quadruple-crossings and hate happy endings, this is a book that you'll want to bring in from the cold.
