Del Rey, the science fiction and fantasy imprint at Random House Publishing Group, has launched a new imprint podcast: Del Reydio.
Every Thursday, members of the Del Rey staff discuss the nerdy books, film, and various media keeping them happy and sane during self-isolation, followed by exclusive interviews between authors and their editors. And, in collaboration with the PRH Audiobook team, Del Reydio now includes audiobook excerpts from backlist titles, kicking off with WORLD WAR Z by Max Brooks, as read by Mark Hamill in Episode 3.
The podcast is hosted and produced by Del Rey marketers Julie Leung and Ashleigh Heaton, and officially launched on March 26. Here is a sample of what Del Reydio has to offer:
Episode 1: “Spaceboys” (March 26)

Episode 2: “Adopted by a Giant Spider” (April 2)
Ashleigh and Julie check in with Megan Tripp, Del Rey’s social media manager, and talk about cozy fantasy reads. Our marketing colleague Kathleen Quinlan interviews author Zack Jordan about his space opera debut, THE LAST HUMAN.
