Apple Podcasts5Dmitry SamarovUnited States5 years ago - The parenting podcast for Bill Murray fans
Seriously though, Alex and Lindsay make me feel heard and seen as an offbeat writer and parent. Their writing advice is practical and encouraging, their stories from the trenches are funny, and the guests they bring on are excellent.

I love both Hunter’s and Higley’s writing, and this podcast is a wonderful look at what it means to balance a writing life with an actual life—family, career, friendships. They’re guests have been great!

Love hearing new work, discovering new writers, and hearing about what the working process is like for other parents. Really therapeutic and great life advice too.
Apple Podcasts5stacyaustineganUnited States5 years ago - :)
It’s so inspiring to hear about how writers in all types of situations, with all types of lives, find the time and motivation to write. I find myself learning new things (for example, about motherhood) from this podcast, too! And I love that the hosts talk about and read their own work at the end.
Apple Podcasts5Fish112233United States5 years ago - Writers !!
Essential listening for any working writer and anyone who thinks they are not a writer anymore because their life got complicated but yes they are still very much a writer.
Apple Podcasts5GofTylerUnited States5 years ago - Honest and Real Conversations
My husband and I love listening to this podcast together while in the car. Alex and Lindsay are very real and honest about the struggles and layers of being a parent, a writer, a spouse, and so much more. If you are a writer or a creator of any kind, give this a listen!
Apple Podcasts5corn superUnited States5 years ago - You have to hear this!!!
