Wonderful show, brilliant hosts. I do enjoy the shows with guests but really it's the bonus episodes where Jo and Ada get deep into the details of craft and their passion for storytelling that I love the most. I would be happy to listen to them talk shop for hours.
Why yes, I *would* like to be invited to listen in on conversations between two of my favorite writers. What a gift!
