I was surprised to find there are relatively few podcasts related to reluctant male readers. I was pleased, though, to find an interview with Greg Neri on Tampa Bays Media Talk on YouTube.
Mr. Neri writes graphic novels. His latest novella, Chess Rumble, deals with the issues facing urban teenage boys. As well as having amazing art work, the format of the book is set up as a chess match with an opening move, middle game, and end game which I believe adds to the appeal.
In the podcast, Greg Neri discusses the importance of presenting information in non-traditional ways in order to engage boys. He states that this is an exciting time right now because media and technology are changing the way we present information to include how author's write books.
