  • A gift of rich collaborations, talented writers, actors, and musicians, all tied together with Chris Gregory's superbly slick production bow. It's all just exquistely done; transportative, immersive, escapism.

An Interview with Poet and Novelist Madeleine F White
Q: Do you consider the ride or the being outdoors as a spiritual experience?
Everything is connected. We are interconnected. We are fools if we think we're little individual ants on this huge planet.
An Interview with Poet and Novelist Madeleine F White
Q: Do you think the connection with Lucy Horse and the landscape as being kind of fundamental to the inspiration behind these poems?
Absolutely, connecting with another being so deeply that there is a bond, which you feel fear together, you feel joy together.
An Interview with Poet and Novelist Madeleine F White

Introducing The Writers' Gym Podcast
Q: Is there a temptation as a writer of dialogue to think that the actor alone can bring the individuality of voice to a character?
No, that would be a mistake; writers must ensure characters have distinct voices through careful word choice and character traits.
Introducing The Writers' Gym Podcast
Q: Can you say a little bit about the importance of dialogue?
Dialogue is where the story and character are; it's crucial for conveying information believably and genuinely, especially in drama without a narrator.
