This podcast encourages you to consider your approach to writing and reading. It’s entertaining and intriguing, personal and broad. The conversations between hosts Madeleine Vaughan and Jules Ironside are focussed as well as natural. If you haven’t read any of the authors’ works, this podcast will charm you into doing so. Highly recommended.
Being a writer of speculative fiction, I found this podcast and decided to check it out. The marathon in-depth discussions of topics like hell & purgatory, as well as fantasy settings Tolkien never used, are stimulating and often light-hearted (laughter is in abundant supply). Recommended for any spec fic writer or fan.
