It’s hard to find a podcast with not to much dull small talk and snobbery, this gets right to the meat of poems and words. Really happy with this so far.
Really great podcast that has its finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary lit. I highly recommend checking it out!
I’m so glad I found this. Hands down my new favorite podcast. Thank you.
I need this podcast in my life — to help me think about writing when I can’t be doing it, and to inspire me when I am. Thank you! Two months feels like a long time to wait between episodes, but I’ll live if the terrific producers keep ‘me coming.
Podcasts are my drug of choice when I'm driving and I can really groove on some Ampersand when it's just me and the road.
