2025 marked 10 years of Texas Standard on the air, and one way we celebrated was delving into the archives to count down some of our favorite stories we’ve covered in years past.

Today, we crack the spine to revisit our top 10 favorite book interviews.

We’ve done bookshelves full of great book interviews in that past decade. These picks were nominated not because they won the best book awards or sold the most copies, but because our conversations with the authors have stuck with us.

Listen to the full show in the player above and check out the full list here:
