Author Webcasts...

The Library of Congress offers over 300 author/poet webcasts here... well worth exploring. Some notables include Neil Gaiman, pictured at left, E. L. Doctorow, Sue Monk Kidd, John Irving, Tom Wolfe, David McCullough, Thomas Friedman, Joyce Carol Oates, Nikki Grimes, and a large number of children's authors. The webcasts seem to average around 30 minutes in length and are available on other topics as well, including religion, science, technology, government, education, culture, performing arts, biography, and history.
