I love the podcast and I love listening to your positive energy and thoughts about writing. I’m an aspiring writer after a 25 year career in real estate.

Would love to hear a conversation with Louise Penny
Let the guests talk!!
JP laughs at his own jokes and thinks he’s the most important character. He’s a half-wit writer and a worse podcaster. Maximum Ride was a terrible, woke series, so why would his podcast be anything different?
