Excellent interaction with Tim Blake Nelson
What kind of man would countenance his wife being obsessed with another man’s penis? Doug Brunt is that man. Megyn Kelly is sick and depraved. Her rantings about the size of Mark Levin’s penis are hideous and embarrassing. But there is so much more that is vile about her. By association Doug Brunt must be given a wide berth.
Enjoy Doug’s interview style and format. Michael Connelly is my current favorite author, as I am working my way through all of his books while in between other reads. Understanding his process answers so many questions I have about his many works. I began through a recommendation with The Poet. I told my mom how much I enjoyed it and she recommended Bosch.

I love this podcast. It’s so interesting to learn about the different styles of creative process each author has developed! Doug is a skilled interviewer who seems very comfortable with every guest.
A few authors I would like to hear interviewed:
Aussie - Jane Harper
Ruth Downie - her Medicus series is genius
David Sedaris
Edward Rutherford
Michael Connelly
Craig Johnson
Thanks for the great show.
Doug Brunt, thank you for allowing your listeners to be a fly on the wall while you converse with all of these talented writers. I find your discussions fascinating from inspiration to process and everything in between. I’d love to listen to a discussion between you and TaylorJenkins Reid. I’m curious about her process as she creates stories around fictional celebrities. Thanks again, Doug, for creating a space for storytelling from the perspective of the story creators! I can’t get enough!
