  • Thank you

    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!

  • Charles Martin please

    Our family loves reading and your pod. Will you please interview Charles Martin. Start with “Water Keeper”. I discovered his books when I was staying at a friend ranch that rescues trafficked girls and this particular book is about trafficking although he has many other books on different topics. Most all fiction.

    If you could get Rick Atkinson on, my brain might melt. I argue, he’s one of the best authors of present.
