  • Very calming. Focused. Not intense. Warm.

    The variety of guests is really cool. I think the premise is they can interview anyone who is published on leanpub. The host is calm and draws out the guests to really express themselves. I liked Marianne Bellotti, and Lee Baker. The best interview so far is the one with Stephen Godfrey. I could listen to that whole one again.

  • In depth conversations which often zig and zag

    I've been listening to this podcast since it started. Len Epp, the current host, asks questions beyond the typical.

I like the unpredictable nature of the conversations and the various questions and answers.

    I like hearing about other people's writing process, and what they people want from their leanpub experien... more
