Better Than The Book? The Podcast Edition

If there are two things i do consistently, they are read and listen to podcasts. Which is why I love it when a book crosses over into the podcast realm. Yeah, like books that get made into movies, mini-series or TV shows – only better.

I can really only think of two examples where this has been done really well. In fact, i prefer the podcasts to the books!

• Freakonomics Radio based on the book of the same title.
• Happier with Gretchen Rubin, which I guess is based on Better Than Before but combines elements of all her books.

Are there other podcasts out there based on books? Which ones do you recommend?
