Travelers’ Tales has added podcasts to the offerings on its Web site, debuting interviews by executive editor Larry Habegger with travel writing heavyweights Simon Winchester and Tim Cahill. I agree with Jen Leo’s assessment: If you can get past some stiff introductory remarks, there’s some good material inside. I enjoyed hearing Simon Winchester discuss the awful review that his recent book, “A Crack in the Edge of the World,” earned in the New York Times. “Let it ruin your breakfast,” he said, “but don’t let it spoil your lunch.”
