I am in love with the Aubrey/Maturin books, so I was very happy when I discovered this podcast. Every episode is a nice, quiet and informative chat about each book of the series, chapter by chapter. The two hosts give background and historical information, discuss their reactions, interview guests that can give additional insights about some aspects of the books. For a fan of the books, it's really like being in a pleasant chat with fellow readers and O'Brian admirers. I had to stop listening since I want to read all the books first, but they're really very careful not to give away spoilers for the following books, so it's "safe" to listen while reading along.
