The magnificent balance of entertainment and inspiration. Alice and Joe do a wonderful job of looking at characters and people-including themselves- and helping us find new ways to challenge and improve our story! Always leaves me wanting to be better and hear more!
Hoping more episodes come out soon!
Also, think it would be genius to put Alice to the test! She is a great host and fair judge of characters, would love to get to know her and her story better and put her to the character test!

I only just discovered this podcast a week ago and have already flown through all the episodes. Very inspiring and insightful stuff. I’m looking forward to more!
I just listened to episode 14 with Nate Staniforth. Joe, the conversation was magical! You have a talent for interviewing and I like how prepared you are for each interview. As a first time writer, this podcast is so helpful as an inspiration. Both you and Alice seem so committed to discovering wonder and sharing it with us. Thank you for doing this work even when it feels lonely!
