Reviews

What makes this podcast different to a lot of other interview shows out there is that they are in the process of building the... more

I discovered this podcast through Jay’s Paris vlogs, and despite not being a sci-fi fantasy reader, was curious. I’m so impressed with the quality of the interviews (and sound). I’m hooked! Looking forward to listening to your journey as your publishing and film dreams come true.
